Yep, you totally can pay 0 for X in MTG! Spells with X in their mana cost let you choose how much mana to pour into them. So, if you're low on mana or just don't need a big effect, slamming down 0 is absolutely a legit move. It's all about the strategy and what you need at the moment.
I paid 0 for X in a game once to activate an ability that only required me to cast a spell, not to have a big impact. Worked like a charm and caught my opponent off guard. Definitely a situational trick, but oh so satisfying when it works out.
