"Getting stronger as the game progresses" is such an unspecific attribute, it's hard to give an answer.
You could go into the X-spell direction, using Zaxara, the Exemplary or Rosheen Meanderer.
Then, there are +1 counter cards that could grow stronger and can be proliferated.
I'd love to give you fitting input, but I need more context. Is there anything giving? Maybe a commander you want to build around? For kicker, that could be Hallar, the Firefletcher or Verazol, the Split Current

Commander's Insignia seems like it would fit what you're looking for. Same with cards from the Storm cycle from C18 - Fury Storm, Echo Storm, Skull Storm, Genesis Storm and Empyrial Storm.
If any of these cards interest you, a really low cost commander like Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh would be a good fit.
I'm at a loss for anything else at the moment. Sorry!

Commander’s that scale with amount of mana spent to cast them fit the theme:

The level up cards could also work. Like Hexdrinker and the other creatures with that ability.

Hydras fit the theme. One more mana is one more head and there are so many friggin hydras you can use. Gargos, Vicious Watcher ties them all together perfectly.

The new classes enchantments are great for that type of stuff
Paladin Class Wizard Class Fighter Class
are examples

Though these aren’t kicker/multikicker cards, they have potential to grow stronger as the game progresses:
-
Any of the Zenith cycle
-
Any card with {{X}} in the cost (especially paired with Rosheen Meanderer)
-
Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit or others that use the Bolster mechanic
-
Increasing Ambition (since the flashback cost is higher)
-
Chronomaton (hehe)
The topic is a bit broad, but I feel like cards like this are especially adept at becoming much larger threats with time.

It seems like pretty much anything with an cost to cast or use an ability of will fit. Other ideas are "number of (whatever)" in play or that you control, like Kaya's Wrath or Consuming Aberration. Multikicker should work well.
Are you looking for any specific colors? Rosheen Meanderer builds off the X-cost idea,
