Rulings

Official rulings from Wizards of the Coast (3).

  • 2020-06-23The 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.
  • 2020-06-23Because Experimental Overload is still on the stack while it's resolving, it doesn't count towards the value of X.
  • 2020-06-23You exile Experimental Overload even if you don't return a card to your hand.
