Kicker (You may pay an additional as you cast this spell.)
When Ghitu Amplifier enters, if it was kicked, return target creature an opponent controls to its owner’s hand.
Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, Ghitu Amplifier gets +2/+0 until end of turn.
If a spell's kicker cost was paid, the spell is "kicked."

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.

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.

Ghitu Amplifier's last triggered ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. The ability will resolve even if that spell is countered.
