Nope, it doesn't. Override works on spells, and Lightning Greaves is an artifact. Once it's on the battlefield, Override can't touch it.

Absolutely, Override can totally affect Lightning Greaves. Here's the deal: Override lets you counter a spell unless its controller pays an additional \<X\>, where \<X\> is the number of charge counters on Override. So, if someone's trying to cast Lightning Greaves and you've got Override loaded with enough counters, you can force them to pay up or lose the spell. It's all about timing and having those charge counters ready!

Yeah, before Lightning Greaves hits the field, Override can step in. It鈥檚 all about stopping spells in their tracks. If Lightning Greaves is being cast and you have Override ready to go, you could potentially counter it if the greaves' controller can't cough up the extra mana. Remember, it's all about using Override at the right moment.
