Official rulings

4 rulings · in English, source Scryfall

If a permanent has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.

2020-08-07 · Wizards of the Coast

Colorless mana won't give Engineered Explosives another charge counter. Colorless is not a color.

2020-08-07 · Wizards of the Coast

You can choose any value for X as you cast Engineered Explosives. The value chosen for X doesn't directly affect the number of charge counters Engineered Explosives enters the battlefield with, but it does let you pay more mana and thus spend more colors of mana to cast it.

2020-08-07 · Wizards of the Coast

Tokens that aren't a copy of something else don't have a mana cost. Anything without a mana cost normally has a mana value of 0.
