A payoff built for a mechanic that had always paid you in the spell you were already casting. Kicker's whole pitch is that you get more from a card you would run anyway, so an engine that rewards the act of kicking (rather than any one kicked effect) has to justify itself twice: it must earn its slot and it must reliably find kicker-spells to feed on. This body handles the second half itself, digging five deep on entry to pull a kicker card into hand, then converting every subsequent kicked cast into a loot. Neither trigger is spectacular in isolation; the loot filters rather than accrues raw advantage, and the enters ability whiffs entirely if your deck is thin on kicker. What makes it worth the trouble is the compounding: in a shell dense enough that most spells carry a kicker cost, the 2/2 turns a mana investment you were making anyway into cards, then smooths every subsequent draw. The design discipline is that the reward scales with commitment. Cast one kicked spell a game and it is a fragile blank; build so that kicking is your default line and it becomes a looting engine that keeps the gas flowing. That tension (a Merfolk Wizard that does almost nothing on its own, but converts an entire deckbuilding thesis into velocity) is the reason it reads narrow and plays wide.
