because i did see it different on different cards.

Marek14 wrote:Hanmac: Well, the code looks good, but not sure if the last ability is correct. First, you should probably use cmcEQX, since the converted mana cost must be exactly X. But you try to determine X backwards from CMC of targeted card, so it's weird to combine this approach with X-limited targeting.

Ideally, the card should let you select X first (perhaps limited just to values that actually have valid targets), then the target. Alternately, target can be chosen first and X determined from it, but then the retargeting limitation would be hard to implement.

Are you sure about that? It doesn't feel like CMC X is a targeting restriction. It feels like the X is defined by the target. You just don't pay for the cost until after the trigger starts resolving.
