I don't see why it wouldn't. Overload is an alternative casting cost, and Electromancer reduces casting costs.

I don't see why not. Miracle says you may cast it at the time you draw it, sorcery speed should only be relevant if you are casting it normally.

I'm not a rules person though, those are just my intuitive answers.

So two questions this time that I'm trying to figure out involving two of the new Return to Ravnica cards.

First question is.....

1. If I had a Goblin Electromancer in play, would it's ability reduce the cost of overload cards, such as this one Downsize ? Or just the cards normal mana cost.

Question two is.......

2. If I were to draw a card using Azorius Charm on a opponents turn, and It was a Devastation Tide , could I play it even though it's a sorcery if it was the first card I drew on their turn?

Comments and info would be appreciated!

1. Yes.  Overload is an alternate cost.  Things that reduce cost will apply to it.

702.94a Overload is a keyword that represents two static abilities: one that functions from any zone in which the spell with overload can be cast and another that functions while the card is on the stack. Overload [cost] means "You may choose to pay [cost] rather than pay this spell's mana cost" and "If you chose to pay this spell's overload cost, change its text by replacing all instances of the word 'target' with the word 'each.'" Using the overload ability follows the rules for paying alternative costs in rules 601.2b and 601.2e-g.

2.  Yes.  As long as it was the first card you have drawn during your opponent's turn.

702.92a Miracle is a static ability linked to a triggered ability (see rule 603.10). "Miracle [cost]" means "You may reveal this card from your hand as you draw it if it's the first card you've drawn this turn. When you reveal this card this way, you may cast it by paying [cost] rather than its mana cost."

Rules Q&A would gain you the fastest response to a rules question.

Awesome, thank you very much for the help and rule support. Much appreciated.

of course you can,
I find it odd that you didn't have any issue casting it on your own turn, likely during your draw step while the miracle trigger is resolving, which is when you normally couldn't cast a sorcery either

the triggered ability in miracle lets you cast the spell irrespective of timing
