What it does
Flying
3: Destroy target artifact. This creature gets +X/+0 until end of turn, where X is that artifact's mana value.
Rulings
3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2011-01-01
If the mana cost of a permanent includes X, that X is considered to be 0.
- 2011-01-01
If the targeted artifact is an illegal target by the time the activated ability resolves, the ability doesn't resolve. Hoard-Smelter Dragon won't get the bonus.
- 2013-07-01
If the activated ability resolves but the targeted artifact isn't destroyed (perhaps because it has indestructible or it regenerates), Hoard-Smelter Dragon will still get the bonus.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.
