Cloudhoof Kirin, Legendary creature — kirin spirit, designed by Randy Gallegos first released in Jun, 2005 in the set Saviors of Kamigawa. It's a key card in 1 combos.
A deck that focuses on casting a high number of Spirit or Arcane spells would benefit from including Cloudhoof Kirin, as it provides a consistent mill effect that can disrupt the opponent's strategy. However, there are potentially better options for mill strategies in Magic: the Gathering, such as Hedron Crab or Glimpse the Unthinkable, which offer more efficient milling capabilities. Whether Cloudhoof Kirin should see play would depend on the specific strategy and synergies within the deck, as well as the overall effectiveness of its ability in the current metagame.

If the Spirit or Arcane spell has in the mana cost, then you use the value of on the stack. For example, Shining Shoal costs . If you choose X = 2, then Shining Shoal’s converted mana cost is 4. Shining Shoal also has an ability that says “You may exile a white card with converted mana cost X from your hand rather than pay Shining Shoal’s mana cost”; if you choose to pay the alternative cost and exile a card with converted mana cost 2, then X is 2 while Shining Shoal is on the stack and its converted mana cost is 4.
