YES this works with Overload (alternate cost), just like it would with flashback, or miracle.
YES this works with Replicate (additional cost) but NOT in the way you would expect. Replicate, like Kicker, Buyback, and Entwine, is an additional cost added on top of the normal cost. This means that no matter how many times you Replicate a spell, Electromancer only shaves off the total cost. This seems meaningless at first glance, because it's only a discount of , but multiple Electromancers stack.
Say for example you control two Electromancers and cast Pyromatics, Replicating it once. The cost increase of Replicate is applied first, resulting in a cost of - you are not casting two spells for each, you are casting the one spell for . The Electromancer's ability kicks in afterwards, reducing it by (one for each Electromancer) meaning you pay ... (see all)

I find this card underwhelming in the duel deck due to lack of synergy with replicate.
@Ferlord

@ Ezuna
Do you mean that the deck doesn't have much Replicate stuff, or if this card doesn't go well with Replicate?
BECAUSE IF YOU MEANT THE LATTER, I dunno what you're smoking.

enchant with Dual Casting and use that saved red mana to effectively cast two of a spell for the same cost, spread the burn around nicely, for example double Arc Trail for just two red mana, especially useful when paired with Wee Dragonauts equipped with a Leering Emblem
