Skyfire Kirin

Legendary Creature - Kirin Spirit 3/3, 2RR (4)
Flying

Whenever you cast a Spirit or Arcane spell, you may gain control of target creature with that spell's converted mana cost until end of turn.¹
Its fiery visitation burns away the fog of war and dissipates the ties of loyalty.
Illus. Tsutomu Kawade

Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]

• 6/1/2005: If the Spirit or Arcane spell has {X} in the mana cost, then you use the value of {X} on the stack.  For example, Shining Shoal costs {X}{W}{W}. If you choose X = 2, then Shining Shoal's converted mana cost is 4. Shining Shoal also has an ability that says "You may exile a white card with converted mana cost X from your hand rather than pay Shining Shoal's mana cost"; if you choose to pay the alternative cost and exile a card with converted mana cost 2, then X is 2 while Shining Shoal is on the stack and its converted mana cost is 4.
