Kalamax + Electrodominance

I have a tapped Kalamax, the Stormsire and cast Electrodominance where X = 6.
Will this result in me getting two free 6 drops (or less mana value) assuming the original and the copy resolve?
I expect YES, but it seems to confuse some of my opponents when I'm getting so many free spells.

NOT A JUDGE, but yes, I believe so. The copied spell keeps all decisions made for the original copy (This is why Return to Nature is not always strictly better than Naturalize) , so you'd get two free 6 drops from the electrodominance twins here.

Copying an X spell preserves the value of X. You're all set. X is typically only forced to be 0 when the card was cast via shenanigans and X couldn't be set.

Yes - the value of X is carried over for spell copies. You deal X damage twice AND may cast cards in your hand with mana value X or less without paying for them twice. (CR 707.10)
