About Experimental Overload

Experimental Overload, Sorcery, designed by Lie Setiawan first released in Jun, 2020 in the set Core Set 2021. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 1.17.

Experimental Overload would be a strong inclusion in a spell-heavy control deck that focuses on filling the graveyard with instant and sorcery cards. While it offers the potential for a powerful creature token and card recursion, its high mana cost and the need to have a significant number of spells in the graveyard may limit its effectiveness. Other cards like Snapcaster Mage or Mystic Retrieval might offer more consistent value in similar decks, making Experimental Overload a situational choice that may not see widespread play in competitive Magic: The Gathering formats.

Rules

06/23/20

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.

06/23/20

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