Yes, X would be zero (as it is always when you play cards without paying their mana costs), but it doesn't meen you'd waste your Fireball - you just wouldn't cast it, since it says "you may cast it", not "cast it".

That store's got some seriously scrub players. I'd stop going there and go to a place where people actually know how to play Magic.
ANyway, on topic: Great card.

Anyone know if this interacts with Flash? I would assume not.

What happens if you have 2,3 or 4 of these out at once during upkeep?

Why do they not explain the rules on having multiple Galvanoths out?
So let me get this straight: If you have 2 Galvanoths in play, then you look at the top card, if it is an instant or sorc then you can play it. If you do play it then you can use the second Galvonoth to see if your next top card is an instant or sorc and possibly play that one too.
But if the first top card on your library is not an instant or sorc then you don't get to play it, and then when the second Galvanoth triggers, the card on the top of your library will be that same non-instant or sorc that you looked at with the first Galanoth, and you still won't be able to play it.
So, basically, the second (or third, or fourth) Galvanoth only really work if the top card was an instant or sorc and you decided to cast it with the first Galvanoth.
Is that correct????

Probably a good idea to have Telling Time ready if you should have multiples out.

so if i have multiple galvanoth's out if the first card is a instant or sorcery can the second galvanoth free cast a the next card if it is a instant or sorcery or is it just once?

For multiple Galvanoths (for example, let's have 3):
1. Each instance of the ability (3) trigger and goes on the stack.
2. First one resolves, allowing you to look at the card and, if allowed, play it. Pretend you can and you do play it.
3. Second one resolves like the first. Let's say you got a land. You can't play it with Galvanoth. It goes back on the deck.
4. Third resolves. You look at the same land again. You take the time to appreciate the artist's fine work.
5. The stack is empty. You draw a card (our land).
Basically, multiple Galvanoths really aren't that great.
