Roost of Drakes, Enchantment, designed by Bayard Wu first released in Sep, 2020 in the set Zendikar Rising.
A deck that focuses on casting a high number of kicked spells would benefit from including Roost of Drakes, as it provides a steady stream of flying creature tokens. However, in competitive Magic: the Gathering environments, there are more efficient options for generating creature tokens, such as cards like Young Pyromancer or Monastery Mentor, which have lower mana costs and can create tokens with additional benefits. While Roost of Drakes may have a niche role in casual or thematic decks, it may not see play in more optimized or competitive strategies.

An ability that triggers when a player casts a kicked spell resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger, but after targets have been chosen for that spell. It resolves even if that spell is countered.

If you put a permanent with a kicker ability onto the battlefield without casting it, you can’t kick it.

Kicker represents an optional additional cost that you may choose to pay as you cast the spell. A spell cast with that additional cost paid 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 converted mana cost of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.
