When Sphinx of Lost Truths enters, draw three cards. Then if it wasn’t kicked, discard three cards.
If you put a permanent with a kicker ability onto the battlefield without casting it, you can't kick it.

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.

Sphinx of Lost Truths behaves differently than other cards with kicker. Its "enters" ability always triggers, and it checks whether it *wasn't* kicked. The two possible results are as follows: -- When an unkicked Sphinx of Lost Truths enters, you draw three cards, then discard three cards. -- When a kicked Sphinx of Lost Truths enters, you draw three cards.
Random a card of Magic: The Gathering (MTG), but you can also roll the D20 dice, random a Planeswalker, have fun with the random rules and more.
