As an additional cost to cast this spell, discard X cards.
Target player draws X cards. Channeled Force deals X damage to up to one target creature or planeswalker.

Rulings:

4/17/2020 If you cast Channeled Force without paying its mana cost, you still choose a value for X and discard that many cards. This is because the spell doesn’t have <img src="/Handlers/Image.ashx?size=small&name=X&type=symbol" alt="Variable Colorless" align="absbottom" /> in its mana cost.
4/17/2020 If one of Channeled Force’s two targets becomes illegal, the other is still affected as appropriate.
