2024-11-08
You may reveal a card with assist kicker and discuss how to pay for it before you begin to cast the spell. Targets are chosen for that spell before you choose another player to help you pay for it and before that player has committed any mana to doing so.
2024-11-08
Only the assist kicker cost (or part of that cost) can be paid by another player. Any other costs must be paid by the spell’s controller.
2024-11-08
If there are no other players on your team (probably because you’re not playing a Two-Headed Giant or similar multiplayer game), you can’t pass the ball. However, if All-Star Kicker was kicked, its last ability will still give creatures you control +1/+1 and haste until end of turn.

Playtest cards aren’t legal for play in any tournament format other than Mystery Booster Limited formats. On the other hand, we expect they will spice up a wide variety of non-tournament games (as long as everyone’s on the same page about using them!).
2024-11-08
Playtest cards use a modified version of game symbols, such as and . These modified symbols should be treated as the standard symbols during play.
2024-11-08
For many playtest cards, you’ll need to make a generous assumption that basic game rules would be updated to allow them to work. The Mystery Booster 2 Playtest Card Notes section (reproduced here in individual Gatherer rulings) provides guidance for fitting these cards into the existing rules structure.

All-Star Kicker keyword rules

Assist Rule 702.132

Assist is a static ability that modifies the rules of paying for the spell with assist (see rules -h). If the total cost to cast a spell with assist includes a generic mana component, before you activate mana abilities while casting it, you may choose another player. That player has a chance to activate mana abilities. Once that player chooses not to activate any more mana abilities, you have a chance to activate mana abilities. Before you begin to pay the total cost of the spell, the player you chose may pay for any amount of the generic mana in the spell’s total cost.
