Celestial Kirin, Legendary creature — kirin spirit, designed by Adam Rex first released in Jun, 2005 in the set Saviors of Kamigawa and was printed exactly in 4 different ways.
A deck focused on Spirits or Arcane spells would benefit from including Celestial Kirin, as its ability to destroy all permanents with the same mana value as the spell cast can be a powerful board wipe tactic. However, the high mana cost of 2WW might limit its playability in faster formats. Other cards like Supreme Verdict or Wrath of God offer similar board wipe effects at a lower cost, making them potentially better options depending on the deck's strategy and mana curve. Ultimately, Celestial Kirin could see play in specific Spirit or Arcane-themed decks looking for a unique and potentially devastating board control option.

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.
