If X is 2 or lower, draw X cards. If X is 3, put X +1/+1 counters on X target creatures. If X is 4, return X target creatures from your graveyard to the battlefield. If X is 5 or more, Variety deals x damage to target creature or player. If X is 10 or more, you win the game.

-2: Each player may sacrifice a creature. If they do, you lose 2 life and draw a card for each creature sacrificed this way.
-8: ~ becomes a 1/1 black and white sprit creature with flying, gains "Whenever ~ deals damage to a player, double your life total" and loses all other abilities and types. (It's no longer a Planeswalker)
