K-value
The maximum number of points a player's rating may go up or down based on the results of a single match within a tournament.

Kicker
An Invasion block mechanic that gives you the option to pay an additional cost when playing a spell. If you decide to pay the kicker cost, the spell will generate a better effect. When you play a card with kicker, you choose whether or not to pay the kicker cost. You can pay a card's kicker cost only once and only as you play it from your hand.
   Paying the kicker cost doesn't change the mana cost of a spell, just its total cost. If a card has two kicker costs, you can pay one, both, or neither of its kicker costs.

Kicker cost
The optional additional cost to play a spell with kicker.
