Return to Ravnica new mechanics Explained (Part 2 of 5)

The overload mechanic power up instants and sorceries to huge proportions by taking every instance of "target" in their rules text and replacing it with "each."

Its also worth pointing out when you pay the Overload cost on cards like Blutersquall it will also affect creatures the opponents control with hexproof.
