If Thornscape Battlemage is put onto the battlefield as the result of a spell or ability, there's no opportunity to kick it.
Mar 14, 2017
Kicker costs don't change a spell's mana cost or mana value.
Mar 14, 2017
You can pay any particular kicker cost only once. You can't pay it multiple times to get multiples of either triggered ability.
Mar 14, 2017
You choose whether to kick a spell as you cast it, and you pay that much along with the spell's mana cost at the same time. Kicking a spell is always optional.
Nov 8, 2024
If a card or token enters as a copy of a permanent, the new permanent isn't kicked, even if the original was.
Nov 8, 2024
If a spell's kicker cost was paid, the spell is "kicked."
Nov 8, 2024
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.
Nov 8, 2024
If you put a permanent with a kicker ability onto the battlefield without casting it, you can't kick it.
Nov 8, 2024
The kicker ability doesn't let you pay a kicker cost more than once.
Nov 8, 2024
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.
