@jonathankoren @Talen_Lee @maywecomein That misses my point. What I was saying is, there is some precedent for an effect looking at whether something else in the game uses X, and that suggests a possible avenue for treating "+1/+1 for each" different from "+X/+X". This argument does not care whether X is a mana cost or something else.
It is true that as far as I know, X has never been referenced this way when it was anything other than a mana cost - but that doesn't mean it couldn't be.
Card Name: River Song
Set: Doctor Who
Description: Meet in Reverse — You draw cards from the bottom of your library rather than the top.
Spoilers — Whenever an opponent scries, surveils, or searches their library, put a +1/+1 counter on River Song. Then River Song deals damage to that player equal to its power.

@jonathankoren @Talen_Lee @maywecomein I guess for spells there are things like "players can't cast spells with X in their mana cost", but I don't know if there's any way to do something analogous for referencing X in an ability's effect. But it's plausible enough to make one wonder.
