Animar & kicker costs
Asked by carpecanum 11 years ago
If a kicker cost is an additional casting cost does Animar, Soul of Elements gain an advantage with colorless costs of kickers as well as the base casting cost? For example : Animar has 4 counters...does a Mold Shambler cost 1 green + 1 more green as a kicker? Or does it cost 1 green + 1 green & 1 colorless for the kicker?

To calculate the total casting cost of a spell, you use a forumla:
TCC = [mana cost OR alternate cost] + [additional or increased costs] - [cost reductions]
Kickers are additional costs.
Here, we have the following equation:
TCC = [3G] + [1G] - [4] = GG.
