Overcharged Amalgam’s exploit ability can’t target mana abilities. An activated mana ability is one that could add mana as it resolves, doesn’t have a target, and isn’t a loyalty ability. A triggered mana ability is one that could add mana as it resolves and triggers based on an activated mana ability.
