The value of X is determined as Loot's last ability resolves.

The card types that could appear among your nonland permanents are artifact, battle, creature, enchantment, kindred, and planeswalker.
2024-04-12
Lands are disregarded when calculating the value of X. For example, if you control an artifact land but no other artifacts, artifact won't count toward the value of X.

Ward Rule 702.21

Ward is a triggered ability. Ward [cost] means “Whenever this permanent becomes the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls, counter that spell or ability unless that player pays [cost].”

Some ward abilities include an X in their cost and state what X is equal to. This value is determined at the time the ability resolves, not locked in as the ability triggers.
