edit: yes you can't steal those 0 drop rocks, and that kind of sucks, but there is still a massive array of powerful parts you can just take from people, or hell play it kicked for 1 and steal sol ring
totally missed the or less part, yeah, its a great card
The skydiver is probably the teaser about X used in a way never Done before
This one is amazing too there are so many low cmc equipment that are powerhouse most particularly the swords that would have hit legacy/vinage if it weren't for just one stinky line
Is there any reason except power level that "X can't be 0."? I feel otherwise this would have been Eternal-playable, hving a 2/1 flier in an Eternal-relevant tribe that just steals Moxen, Vaults, Crypts by being played normally sounds really spicy.
Wait, you don't have to target an opponent's artifact. Auto-equip Colossus Hammer and get a 12/11 flier for 2U!
Edit: The hammer removes flying. Still beefy, though.
Please, mill me. Mill my important cards. Mill my lands. Mill it all. Because I will still deal 20 damage before you can mill 45 cards most every time.

You still can steal them. X can't be 0, but the ability says X or less.
I think they just want you to pay at least 2U to steal a Mox. Seems fair to me.
At a guess, the "x can't be 0" is at least partially a "feel" thing? It doesn't feel much like a "kicker" if you're not spending any mana on it. Plus, there's various effects that trigger "when you kick a spell", so you'd have this odd incentive to kick it for 0 even with no targets, which is just weird. This way, you're at least spending a mana on kicking it.
Skydiver is good. But so is the Falconer, there is a mammoth backlog of kicker cards going back literally decades. If there's going to be a kicker deck, it'll be take advantage of the mechanic's innate flexibility and being able to setup your draws on a 4/4 flying body for 5 would be useful for that deck so you always have the best tools on hand to respond to the game state.

My guess is they don't want you stealing tokens for just 1U, which in standard currently I believe is just food and Chrome Replicator, but there might be something in this set or future sets they want players paying at least 2U for.
There's nothing in the rules that prevent kicker costs from being 0. Emblazoned Golem already exists and can be kicked with x=0 to trigger abilities like Bloodstone Goblin.

I think power level. I think it still could be eternal playable, forcing X to be 1. It's going to be much valued in EDH for sure.
I think that the main reason x can’t be 0 is to avoid ambiguity in play. If I tap 1U and put this in play did I kick it or not? This way my opponent can’t go rules lawyering saying “you didn’t specifically say you kicked it, so you can’t steal my mox”.

But yeah, it would be actually playable in vintage and maybe legacy in that case. Not sure if good, but playable.
