wotc
You can choose any value for X as you cast Chamber Sentry. The value chosen for X doesn't directly affect the number of +1/+1 counters Chamber Sentry enters the battlefield with, but it does let you pay more mana and thus spend more colors of mana to cast it.
wotc
If Chamber Sentry enters the battlefield without being cast, it receives no +1/+1 counters.
