Sorcery

Explosions aren't necessarily failures, just a different kind of success.

You exile Experimental Overload even if you don't return a card to your hand.

2020-06-23 · Wizards of the Coast

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 · Wizards of the Coast

Because Experimental Overload is still on the stack while it's resolving, it doesn't count towards the value of X.
