If an artifact becomes an illegal target for Release the Gremlins, it won’t change the number of tokens created. However, if every target artifact becomes an illegal target, Release the Gremlins doesn’t resolve and no tokens are created.
wotc
The value of X is limited by the number of artifacts that you can target. You can’t target the same artifact more than once.
