1. Does Spell Snare counter a kicked Gatekeeper of Malakir? (I think it does, with the kicker cost not adding to the CMC, but rather an additional cost to be paid on announcement.)
2. Does a Chalice of the Void with two counters counter a kicked Gatekeeper? (Pretty much the same question.)
1. Yes
2. Yes

Great. Thanks.
It's X spells which have a CMC of 1 (or whichever) when not on the stack, but whose CMC is a function of X when they are on the stack. This is because the X is part of their mana cost in the top right corner. I'm not sure how the Beseech the Queen cycle works in this respect.
Also, you have the option/requirement to pay "additional costs" such as Kicker when you cast something "without paying its mana cost" (e.g. Mind's Desire), but you don't have the option to pay X. For pretty much the same reason.
SummenSaugen: well, I use Chaos Orb, Animate Artifact, and Dance of Many to make the table we're playing on my chaos orb token
SummenSaugen: then I flip it over and crush my opponent
