Official rulings

  1. You exile Experimental Overload even if you don't return a card to your hand. (2020-06-23)
  2. The value of X is determined only as Experimental Overload resolves. The Weird's power and toughness don't change if the number of instant and sorcery cards in your graveyard changes. (2020-06-23)
  3. Because Experimental Overload is still on the stack while it's resolving, it doesn't count towards the value of X. (2020-06-23)
