It'd be awesome if your opponent did something like {memnite} {memnite} {Mox Opal} {Galvanic Blast}

No. It would suck.

Oh, it's cuz Hex's ability says UP TO x counters. Because you can't play the ability if there are no counters to be removed since the two Death's shadows aren't on play, usually. But since it says UP TO, you can pay the cost to remove no counters, just lose life?

Yes.

In Magic, abso-friggin'-lutely!
