When this enchantment enters, you may pay {X}. If you do, create X 1/1 red and white Goblin Soldier creature tokens.
{R/W}: Red creatures and white creatures you control gain first strike until end of turn.
When the "enters" ability resolves, you choose the value of X, pay for it, and put the tokens onto the battlefield. You can activate mana abilities to pay for {X}, but no one can cast spells or activate abilities in response to this choice.
