Kicker—, Discard a creature card. (You may pay and discard a creature card in addition to any other costs as you cast this spell.)
If this creature was kicked, it enters with flying and with X +1/+1 counters on it, where X is the discarded card's mana value.

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.
