Replicate + Kicker

Asked by Emzed 8 years ago

I want to use Djinn Illuminatus's replicate ability on my Rite of Replication with kicker. Is it even possible to create copies that are also kicked this way? Assuming it is, is the replicate cost 2UU or 7UU?

Copies of a spell remember additional costs, so any copy of a kicked Rite of Replication will also be kicked. Djinn Illuminatus lets you pay a spell's mana cost multiple times as another additional cost to create a replicate trigger that will copy the spell some number of times. How this workis is you decide whether or not to pay the kicker () and how many times the replicate cost (), then add those costs to the casting cost (), then add any other additional costs and subract any cost reductions to find the total cost of the spell. Then the replicate trigger goes on the stack above it, creating copies of the origianl spell that you can retarget and remember whether they were kicked.

TL;DR: replicated copies will still be kicked and only cost (.
