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.

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-d... (see all)

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

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.

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