Stomped by the Foot

• WOTC Official Reminder Textofficial rules
  Kicker — Kicker [cost] (You may pay an additional [cost] as you cast this spell.)

• WWizards of the Coast2026-01-27
  Official Ruling
  To determine a spell's total cost, start with the mana cost (or an alternative cost if another card's effect allows you to pay one instead), add any cost increases (such as kicker), then apply any cost reductions. The spell's mana value remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.
• WWizards of the Coast2026-01-27
  Official Ruling
  If a spell's kicker cost was paid, the spell is "kicked."
• WWizards of the Coast2026-01-27
  Official Ruling
  The kicker ability doesn't let you pay a kicker cost more than once.
• WWizards of the Coast2026-01-27
  Official Ruling
  If you copy a kicked spell on the stack, the copy is also kicked. If the copied spell is a permanent spell, the token the copy of that spell becomes when it enters is also kicked.
