edit: I thought there was an X on the kicker but there is not lol- The answer is they don’t interact with it, and by extension they wouldn’t interact with zaxara since zaxara also has the wording of “in its mana cost” and kicker is not part of the mana cost but rather it is an additional cost. I included this ruling because I personally wondered how unbound flourishing worked with kickers that are X like ]. Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell or activate an.5. : Spells with additional costs that include won’t be affected by Unbound Flourishing. Whenever you cast a permanent spell with a mana cost that contains X, double the value of X. So you just get the benefit of having two of the spell to do double damage or bring back to creatures from the grave if it is a black X Reanimation spell. Unbound Flourishing: Whenever you cast a permanent spell with a mana cost that contains X, double the value of X.Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell or activate an ability, if that spell's mana cost or that ability's activation cost contains X, copy that spell or ability. So for all non-permanent spells, you would get no +1/+1 counters boost and no extra hydra because the copy of the casted spell is not cast itself meaning it doesn’t trigger zaxara’s ability a second time. : The copy that Unbound Flourishing’s ability creates is created on the stack, so it’s not “cast” or “activated.” Abilities that trigger when a player casts a spell or activates an ability won’t trigger. Just remember this only works with permanents like creatures or enchantments or artifacts. So this means that while both unbound flourishing and zaxara’s abilities trigger at the same time, you do indeed get to choose if the ability of unbound flourishing is resolved first, before zaxara’s ability, meaning the X value of the casted permanent is 2X given 2X of the +1/+1 counters. : If a permanent has an ability that triggers when it’s cast and that references the value of X, you choose whether to double the value of X before or after that ability resolves. Hey there! This is way late but I pulled up three rulings on ] that answered this question for me and that should give you the answers you seek:
