As an avid magic player and an even more avid pervert, I must say, I absolutely Love those tits!

Is it just me, or does it seem like Izzet got all the attractive women in this set? Maybe I'm crazy, but it's kind of ridiculous how hot the average female Izzet guildmember is. That aside, this is a wonderful combat trick and possibly my favorite overload card in the set (Dynacharge and Teleportal are its main competition). 4 mana is a bargain to shut down an opponent's board for both their turn and yours.

Seems ok and balanced. Without overload this would be unplayable, but like this, it's ok.

Overload is a fascinating mechanic. Pros like me will know when to use overload and when not to.

Draw, attack, GO, tap 4, play this, opponent passes turn in dissapointment, attack for the win.

Jeez, enough with the creepy comments.
Anyway, like most Overload spells, this works okay on its own and even better if you have the extra mana, and as such its usefulness scales with how far ahead you are in the game.

Is there like a little competitions between magic artists to try and out-cleavage eachother?
She'd tap all your opponent's creatures, if you know what I mean. Like, in front of you. While you watched. Because you ordered her too as the planes-walker that summoned her. You dirty old man.

More like bust-ersquall, right!? Anyway, decent, I like it. Wasn't to bad for finishing games. Speaking if pre release... Okay, I'm done now.
Middling in constructed, this is incredibly powerful in limited. It can simultaneously prevent your opponent from a game-ending swing, while leaving him/her wide open for your own assault.

A fun card - watch every other creature end up tapped and then let the hilarity begin, especially in a game with many players!

The overload is basically a less color intensive sleep.

This card has political applications beyond what you'd expect.
I had a situation in a stagnant multiplayer game where two of my opponents were at war, but had called a seize-fire. They were still very ***ed at one another, and they were constantly threatening an all out assault- but as the turns went by, their armies grew to immeasurable sizes.
I being the Izzet control player, have been sitting on 2 Cyclonic Rift, 2 Mizzium Mortar, 2 Cancel, and a Hypersonic Dragon. My field consisted of a Goblin Electromancer, a couple chump Weirds, 2 Hypersonic Dragon, Jace, Architect of the Thought, and Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius.
This one card.
Right before my Selesnya friend untapped.
Niv: "Everyone tap your things. Trostani... Have fun." >:)
Another situation where someone wanted to swing all out to finish someone. This card saved his life, and he owed me a life-debt.
Politics.

Should have been called "Bustysquall."
Not quite as powerful as Sleep, but it has way more diversity. You can tap one creature if you don't want/need to tap all the creatures (like if there's only one untapped creature), it has instant speed so you can tap them out on their turn. And as an added bonus, It can't be Redirected. But best of all, it taps out every creature every opponent controls, letting you screw over all your opponents instead of just one.
Just be prepared to deal with all the hate.
4 out of 5.

@StreamHopper: Unless you mean at the end of the turn before you cant cast spells before or during the untap step.

4/5. Great card with options either as an early game quasi-detain or a mid to late game board control to push through the last bit of damage.

Why is it I feel like overload was originally made and play tested that it read copy this spell for each thing it can target each must choose a different target but they decided it busted the hell out of the game but liked the concept and this was the result?
Effective and flexible, exactly how an Izzet spell should be. Overload as they're entering combat phase to prevent them from swinging, overload at their end phase to open them up to attack, overload to break up an infinite "tap->untap everything" creature combo! It's a beautiful overload it is, and it's a nice and inexpensive one at that. There are many Izzet cards that could do the things that it can do better (Teleportal overloads to open them up to attack and gives your creatures +1/+0 as well as removing the potential for an unexpected flash summon to block, Cyclonic Rift prevents them from attacking by making them pick up all of their cards), but none are as versatile or as inexpensive as this. 4/5, this is the kind of card you'll never be unhappy to draw.

While playing a three player game, I kept overloading this each turn and had Charmbreaker Devils there to give me it back to do it again. The guy with the turn after me had the dilemma of attacking the player who has all tapped creatures or the one who didn't.
Needless to say, the player who we kindofsorta teamed up on was livid that game.

Isn't this Sleep with more options and better casting cost?

@ sincleanser Sleep may be a bit less versatile in terms of cost but it's still better. You can use Sleep before attacking to have no oppositors and to save yourself from an attack next turn. With Bluster, you can use it to attack with no blockers OR to save yourself, not both. Plus, you might not want to (voice of resurgence) or be able to (grand abolisher) play it on your opponents turn to defend yourself.
I use this when 4 Sleeps isn't enough

Oh god. I don't know what to do for my izzet deck - do I go with the superior but boring and no-flavour Gigadrowse or with this much funnier, izzet themed yet costlier and non-land tapping card?
Or go with two of both and just say that "what if I have to tap a token army?" while in reality I just got it for flavour and art?
The Izzet in me tells me to just field 4 gigadrowse, 2 blustersquall and tap everything forever.
anyways rating it 4 out of 5 because in the rare occasion that you really do need to tap a lot of creatures, it's better than Gigadrowse but in every other occasion I'd rather have the ability to tap lands.
