Stupid card. Obviously designed to be used with the Blue zombies of Innistrad, who had costs other than mana, but as usual Wizards seems to have no comprehension of how expansive or limited their tribes are.

@Mike-C: Frankenstein's Monster won't work with Rooftop Storm. If you cast Frankenstein's Monster using Rooftop Storm, X will be zero.

THAT'S INTERESTING! "Rooftop Storms" were a very common occurrence in horror stories/films about mad scientists. The primary source for this is the 1931 film adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein in which Dr. Frankenstein uses the power of lightning, harvested through a lightning rod mounted on the roof of his laboratory, to animate his monster. Frankenstein's Monster is a Zombie from The Dark expansion and might actually make for a fun combo with this card!

Edit: @Adrian.Malacoda re-Frankensteins Monster combo not working: Ahh.. right you are! Forgot that X actually had to be PAID in mana (as in, not just graveyard removal) on top of the (S)(S) :(

@averyk Actually, no. That only changes it once it's on the field. It doesn't affect the cards in your hand, where they are referred to specifically as cards. If it refers to cards, it refers to cards not in play. If it applies to creatures, enchantments, or any other kind of spell, they refer to in play abilities.

I once had this out with a Pawn of Ulamog, Gravecrawler, Carrion Feeder and Mortician Beetle against a White Myr deck. Next turn I drew a Diregraf Captain... I keep all of them together :P
