If you put a permanent with a kicker ability onto the battlefield without casting it, you can't kick it.
Wotc — November 08, 2024
If a spell's kicker cost was paid, the spell is "kicked."
Wotc — November 08, 2024
The kicker ability doesn't let you pay a kicker cost more than once.
Wotc — November 08, 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.
Wotc — November 08, 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.
Wotc — November 08, 2024
If a card or token enters as a copy of a permanent, the new permanent isn't kicked, even if the original was.
Wotc — November 08, 2024
The player discards 2 cards or 3 cards, not 5 cards.
