If the offense plays a kicker while the Magician is in play, is the kicker played before the Magician's swap applies?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kickers are played before encounter cards are selected, and the Magician's power applies when encounter cards are selected. Once the cards are down, deciding on a kicker is too late.
