🖋️ Curator's Notes
Kicker 5 (You may pay an additional 5 as you cast this spell.)

Create a 7/1 red Elemental creature token with trample and haste. Exile it at the beginning of the next end step. If this spell was kicked, that creature gets +7/+0 until end of turn.

Official Judge Precedents

7 Precedents

If Elemental Appeal was kicked, it creates a 7/1 token with trample and haste that gets +7/+0 until end of turn. It doesn't create a 14/1 token. This matters in case something copies that token (the copy will be just 7/1), or in case Elemental Appeal is somehow cast during an end step (in which case the +7/+0 lasts just for that turn).

If a spell's kicker cost was paid, the spell is "kicked."

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.

If you put a permanent with a kicker ability onto the battlefield without casting it, you can't kick it.

The kicker ability doesn't let you pay a kicker cost more than once.

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.

If a card or token enters as a copy of a permanent, the new permanent isn't kicked, even if the original was.
