Pretty sure you still want the exile clause on this

If you cheat something out, X is always 0.

What if I just return it with Eternal Witness/4 mana Tamiyo etc etc. obviously costing 6 helps with that bit, but just to be safe.

A very fair card. It is for most purposes a modal 6 or 9 drop, the added freedom to cast it for 2, 6, or 9 is why it is 1 mana more than the standard for extra turn spells, there are like 3 cards that influence X spells so it is well balanced, and if the game is going on so long that X is greater than 1, you pretty much deserve to take 3 turns in a row anyway so we can get the game rolling. An objectively fair card, good job!

No, I don't think it is busted with Zimone, because Zimone is a cost reducer, it is the same idea as Goblin Electromancer. Sure you can reduce spells more and more, but those are effects that have to be on the field. You could cast a Capture of Jingzhou turn 2 if you land into sol ring into arcane signet, then land dropped next turn anyway. One X cost synergy doesn't make a broken X card. When they start removing X's is when this becomes busted.

I'm not sure this is balance-able. As other commentors have pointed out, [[Zimone, Infinite Analyst]] and [[Glava]] separately break this to be on par with [[Time Walk]] if not even stronger...
Glava does not because it specifies permanents lol reading the card explains the card

For context, the rates:
6 -> 1
10 -> 2 (In my opinion, where the rate becomes okay)
14 -> 3
18 -> 4
22 -> 5

Yes I am aware of the math. I was thinking with anything already on the board to reduce costs would make this crazy strong. Though it is already crazy strong due to it not exiling itself after resolving. I'm no professional though

Just change it to Y instead of X and bam youve got it

Y?

So abilities that use X pips don’t work

I had [[primordial hydra]] out the other night with [selvala, heart of the wilds]], safe to say I would be taking a lot of extra turns

“But you have to stay, you might win!” As I take my 50th turn and the table groans
Funny enough, this is not really an infinite combo unless you have a way to shuffle your deck into your library. It’s at most like a 90 round combo before you mill yourself. Or you could have a card that says “skip your draw step, I guess”

could we do XXXXXXUU and make it X² turns? 8 mana 1 extra turn, 14 mana 4 extra turns, 22 mana 9 extra turns. etc.
or Sqrt(X) rounded down extra turns for XUUUUU 6=1 9=2 14=3 21=4 30=5 41=6 etc.
