Carte Magic Wicker Picker

Wicker Picker 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

Creature spells you cast have sticker kicker {1}. (You may pay an additional {1} as you cast a creature spell. If you do, you get {TK}, then you may put a sticker on it.)

How it works : Wicker Picker

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.

  7. #7· Wizards of the Coast

    If you put a creature onto the battlefield without casting it, you can't sticker kick it.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  8. #8· Wizards of the Coast

    If you sticker kick a creature spell, you get {TK} and may choose a sticker to put on the creature spell.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  9. #9· Wizards of the Coast

    If a creature spell has kicker or multikicker and another ability that checks if it was kicked (such as Bog Badger or Phyrexian Missionary), that ability is linked to its own printed kicker or multikicker ability and will apply only if you paid its own kicker or multikicker cost. Sticker kicker won't turn on those effects. However, sticker kicker will work with cards that care about other spells being kicked, such as Elfhame Druid or Verazol, the Split Current.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  10. #10· Wizards of the Coast

    Sticker kicker is an optional additional cost that you may pay as you cast a creature spell.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  11. #11· Wizards of the Coast

    If you cast a creature spell you don't own, you may still choose to sticker kick it. If you do, you'll get the ticket counter, even though you can't put a sticker on a card you don't own.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  12. #12· Wizards of the Coast

    You get the ticket counter and the sticker is put on the creature spell just before it's considered cast. Any triggered abilities that trigger whenever you cast a spell with particular qualities will see the spell with the sticker applied.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  13. #13· Wizards of the Coast

    Conversely, you can't use sticker kicker to change a spell's name to get around effects that prohibit that spell from being cast (such as Meddling Mage).

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  14. #14· Wizards of the Coast

    Each Wicker Picker only lets you pay the sticker kicker cost once per spell. If you control multiple Wicker Pickers, then you can pay {1} for each of them, gaining {TK} and a sticker each time.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
