X will be 0, but the chosen creature will still get trample
Without further research, I can only speculate who is generally involved at every position: the ones who manually load the millions of pounds of cardstock into the rollers, the ones who mix the vats of dyes to the companys exact specifications, the ones who run sheet metal through laser cutters to craft the master plates, the ones who color-correct the project files to match the ink formulas, the bosses and executives and managers who keep track of payroll and utilities and raw materials, the technicians who maintain the conditions for ideal humidity in the building, the truckers who show up from distant lumber mills to fulfill supply orders, the machinists who sequence and press the ordered layers of paper to assure the signature blue core remains sandwiched in-between the white fronts and backs, the glue that holds the cardstock together, the chemists who mixed that glue, the animal livestock who fed for years and years on grass fields before being reduced to such materials, the butcher who cut them up and then you have to consider the booster pack, the plastic manufacturer who stretched and cut the shiny polyethylene wrapping, the marketing manager back at headquarters who decided Myojin of Cleansing Fire by Kev Walker would be one of five select pieces of key art for Champions of Kamigawa, the observant quality control team at Cartamundi who cross-checked the collated cards before organizing them into packs to reduce the presence of misprints, the heavy-duty shredders assigned to their destruction the shady opportunists who disobeyed orders and snuck them away to sell on secondary markets instead the translators and localizers who also remain anonymous, despite their precious efforts i traduttori che rimangono ancora anonimi, nonostante i suoi sforzi incalcolabili the busy ports, the enormous shipping containers, the captains who cross oceans manning cargo holds packed to the brim with hundreds of tons of Magic cards, the 21st-century sailors who map the Atlantic so thoroughly to assure the other side of the Earth remains not a mystery but the guarantee of a paycheck, the brutal routine of crossing, the dreams they have as their leviathans carve the waves of transoceanic commerce the booster boxes that befall the big-box buyers, the local game store managers who leave their necks permanently transfixed beneath the guillotines of fiscal risk just so we all have a place to play, the backpack grinders, the aspiring PT spikes, the middle schoolers, the filthy casuals, the livestream influencers auctioning their pulls to intangible audiences in their tiny smartphone screens, gnawing participants of the ostentatious gamble, any ethical interrogation of their predatory relationship overruled by the thrill of the treasure hunt the gestalt creature who, at some point, nicknamed this card Steve, the culture that perpetuates this form of endearment without knowing its true origin, like an elementary school playground myth the decades of time passed that transformed Sakura-Tribe Elder into an icon of a shared tradition
