I'm pretty sure it only incudes base mana cost. You could probably check it with meat wagon.
If you use Barnabus the Stomper and play Hemet, Jungle Hunter, you destroy all your minions, so I'd say it will pull discounted minions. However, GIANTS work differently. Their mana cost reduction is an active effect, while you hold it in your hands, meaning it's also only active in your hand, but not in your deck or on the field (as can be tested with Evolve [/card]and [card]holy wrath).
Unless they've patched it Hemet won't destroy minions discounted by Barnabus.

I read about such a story just the other day so I assumed it worked. Might there be someone lying on the internet?! Intentionally?!
I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I would love to say that the internet is full of good and honest persons but my heart has been broken as well. Stay strong my friend - you'll get over this.
btw you can see the interaction at 4:00 in the link. :-D

Actually, I was correct. It got changed with some patch:

Oh damn. Well in that case the internet is full of nice and honest people, and one person who can't do any proper research. I wonder if this was patched along side the Naga Sea Witch + giant interaction.
Reminds me of Desert Camel, but better. Will probably only see play in gimmicky decks fishing for things like Flamewreathed Faceless or Pit Lord. But we'll have to see what the rest of the cards are.
The issue with Overload Shaman is that you actually want to play the cards in order to reduce the cost of Snowfury Giant. I'm trying to make it work since that specific giant has been released, but I keep running into the same old problems: unreliable card draw, poor early game and constant loss of tempo. Against Control you'll be eventually outvalued (e.g. Priest will just play Shadowreaper Anduin or Dragonfire Potion after your big swing turn) and vs. faster decks you're better off playing Midrange Jade/Elemental Shaman. Apparently the days of Tunnel Trogg/Totem Golem are still haunting us. Also, this card competes with Earth Elemental or Hallazeal the Ascended. Not sure about it, but let's see.
The only Decks this could Work in are Midrange and Aggro and they both have small minions also if you think about playing a Meme deck with Flamewreathed Faceless it will be way to inconsistant.

In Shaman and Warlock decks this card is bonkers.
Meta-defining for sure.
pack filler.
There are a lot of people rating this card as "bad", but it really looks like an amazing tempo card in a deck built around it.
