overload in of itself, is not that powerful. your win condition seems to hinge on either geting out niv, burning to death with guttersnipe, overrunning with drake tokens, or swinging with a pike equiped flipped delver. suffocating blast is sort of okay, i think that dissipate is still a better counterspell, as is syncopate (especially if you have 2 or more electromancers out, you can pay a single blue to counter unless they pay 2) i would swap out the think twice's for inspiration or divination, as they cost less but ultimately do the same thing (draw two cards for 4 or 3 mana respectively, instead of 5), and with electromancers the cost difference is negilable. a lot of your deck relies on drawing the right cards at the right time (having enough spells to use talrand/snipe/pike, or fliping delver). if you are going for standard legal, the only cheap solution is index, which isn't amazing. if you aren't going for standard, then ponder and scry cards are your best friend.
