X
 in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.

If you don't control an artifact with the highest mana value as your upkeep begins, Padeem's second ability won't trigger. You can't cast an instant to destroy an opponent's artifact during your turn before your upkeep begins.
(9/20/2016)
If you no longer control an artifact with the highest mana value as Padeem's triggered ability resolves, you don't draw a card.
