G11.1 - Keyword Action
- G11.1a - Most actions described in a card's rules text use the standard
English definitions of the verbs within, but some specialized verb are
used whose meanings may not be clear. These "keywords" are game terms;
sometimes reminder text summarizes their meanings.
[CompRules 2007/05/01]
- Note - Also see Rule 501, "Keyword Actions."
G11.2 - Keyword Ability
- G11.2a - Some abilities are very common or would require too much space to
define on a card. These abilities list only the name of the ability as
a "keyword"; sometimes reminder text summarizes the game rule. See
Rule 502, "Keyword Abilities." [CompRules 2003/07/01]
G11.3 - Kicker
- G11.3a - Kicker is a keyword ability with a cost and an effect. Paying a
spell's kicker cost causes the spell to have an additional or alternative
effect. [CompRules 2003/07/01]
- G11.3b - "Kicker [cost]" means "You may pay an additional [cost] as you play
this spell." You declare whether you intend to pay a spell's kicker cost
at the same time you would choose the spell's mode (see Rule 409.1b), and
you actually pay the cost when you pay the rest of the spell's costs (see
Rule 409.1f through Rule 409.1h). Paying a kicker cost is always
optional. [CompRules 2005/10/01]
- G11.3c - A spell's controller chooses targets (see Rule 409.1d) for a kicker
effect only if he or she declared the intention to pay the kicker cost for
that effect. If the spell's controller declared that he or she wouldn't
pay a particular kicker cost, he or she doesn't choose the targets for the
effect associated with that kicker cost. [CompRules 2003/07/01]
- Note - Also see Rule 502.21, "Kicker."
