Kicker 

(You may pay an additional 

as you cast this spell.)
Choose target creature you own. If this spell was kicked, instead choose any number of target creatures you own. Return each chosen creature to your hand. At the beginning of the next upkeep, create a 4/4 white Bird Soldier creature token with flying for each creature returned to your hand this way.

Any creature tokens that were returned to your hand are counted by the delayed triggered ability. You'll get a Bird Soldier token for each of them.
- WotCJun 29, 2026
If a spell's kicker cost was paid, the spell is "kicked."
- WotCJun 29, 2026
If you copy a kicked spell on the stack, the copy is also kicked.
- WotCJun 29, 2026
The kicker ability doesn't let you pay a kicker cost more than once.
- WotCJun 29, 2026
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.
