If Lightning Serpent enters without X being paid because an effect puts it onto the battlefield or an effect lets you cast it without paying its mana cost, then X is 0.

Price History
To study a single card is to glimpse the heart of a spell - a frozen moment of ambition, artistry, and arcane intent. Within each glyph lies a spark: a story untold, a duel turned, a destiny altered. Treat it not as mere parchment, dear seeker, but as a shard of the Multiverse itself.
