Carte Magic Ghitu Chronicler

Ghitu Chronicler is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.

01

Official card text

Kicker {3}{R} (You may pay an additional {3}{R} as you cast this spell.) When this creature enters, if it was kicked, return target instant or sorcery card from your graveyard to your hand.

How it works : Ghitu Chronicler

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

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

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

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

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

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

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    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.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

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

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  6. #6· Wizards of the Coast

    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.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
