2x arctic merfolk + Kefnet's Monument or sapphire medallion - I just broke legacy - honestly, there are only about 8 cards with kicker before this set that are worth playing - most of them are limited cards that are designed to smooth out mana curves. In order for this card to be relevant in any format we need to see a lot more cards like thieving skydiver.
It is too bad that one of our commanders wasn't a kicker payoff commander - the timeline for another opportunity like that is at least 2022
I'm impressed and indifferent at the same time. A one mana enchantment that creates tokens is not something I think I've seen thus far in Magic. The reason they can cost it so low is because the token generation is not the primary reason you play a kicker deck; you benefit from it by letting it just sit there ignored in the background and occasionally it burps out a token for you as payment for letting it exist.

1st: There is a green-blue legendary creature in this set that copies kicked spells, so there IS s "kicker payoff commander".
2nd: Kicker is such a basic mechanic, it could show up in any number of supplemental products, maybe even the commander draft set we get this year, so... there would have been plenty of opportunity.

Planar Chaos was not a mistake neither was it random. You might want to look at it again.

It was also designed about 20 years ago, before this card existed, and isn't a 2/1 flyer that steals a mox for 2 mana if its kicker is 0, so there's that.

Finally a good white villain quote: "So, do I ever re-evaluate my life choices? Never, because I know what I'm doing is a righteous cause."

Emblazoned Golem doesn't have that restriction.
