Knowledge Pool with Multikicker?

Asked by chuck137 13 years ago

I know that when you play a card from Knowledge Pool it'll cover the basic kicker cost, but how will it handle multikickers?

Example: I want to play Skitter of Lizards from Knowledge Pool . Do i get one kick, leaving me responsible to pay for any additional kicks?

Or can i pump out as many multikick as I want?

I believe you are incorrect about Knowledge Pool and kicker costs. Knowledge Pool covers mana costs, but not the additional costs (which a kicker is). You would cast the spell from exile without paying the mana cost, but you would still have to pay for the kicker.

Thus, since a multikicker is just a kicker you can pay for multiple times, you'd still have to pay for it.

Knowledge Pool lets you cast any card in it as if the text in the top right of the card said 0, instead of whatever it normally is. This means X is 0, you don't need to pay colored mana, and if anything else checks for how you pay for a spell, it sees 0.

However, you can still declare any additional costs, like Kicker/Multikicker, Buyback, and you have to pay additional costs as well, such as Kuldotha Rebirth 's sacrifice.
