This show, as always, is unedited and unscripted. Today I toss my hat into the ring as it relates to the Secret Lair X The Walking Dead. Spoiler warning - I don't love it and this episode gets pretty personal.

| 09 Apr 2023 | 249 Playable Commons in March of the Machine | 00:23:19 | |
Just because a card is a common doesn't mean it's bad. In today's episode, we look at many commons from March of the Machine (MTGMOM) that could be good enough to see play in Standard and Commander in addition to being potential standouts in limited. In addition to brand new designs, we also see modifications to existing designs and some flat-out reprints given different names meaning you can now have redundancy in your Commander decks. Frankly, a lot of the lower rarity cards from March of the Machine look to be pretty darn good.

| 29 Jul 2023 | 277 The Tenth Doctor | 00:10:48 | |
Doctor Who is coming to Magic: the Gathering and in today's episode of Overthinking MTG, HamHocks42 takes a look at one of the face cards of the set, The Tenth Doctor. The card appears to have big splashy gameplay potential, but it does suffer from a lack of power compared to other commanders that have similar functions. If you like to suspend, and you're a fan of Doctor Who, though, this card should be a fun buildaround.

| 02 Sep 2023 | 285 How to Build Lich-Knight's Conquest | 00:09:32 | |
In this edition of The Overthinking MTG Podcast, HamHocks42 breaks down his impression of Lich-Knight's Conquest after playing with it in the Wilds of Eldraine Streamer Event (formerly known as Early Access). WOE has some amazing designs, and Lich-Knight's Conquest is absolutely one of them. It being able to reanimate multiple amazing creatures like Atraxa, Grand Unifier, Toxrill, the Corrosive, Etali, Primal Conquerer, or the new Gruff Triplets, this card has an opportunity to pop off in the right hands. If a players is going all-in on the strategy, they need assets that can fill the graveyard and leave material on the field to satisfy Lich-Knight's Conquest's multi-bargain requirement such as Collector's Vault, The Modern Age, and Teachings of the Kirin. In Standard, this won't be hard to pull off.

The card combos beautifully with any cards that require you to pay life such as Night's Whisper or Fell Stinger, but the engine really clicks into fourth gear when Underrealm Lich joins the party. It's possibly the best Golgari draw engine you can assemble because it draws you cards at will while also filling your graveyard.

For three mana, the card looks powerful in decks that can take advantage of the effect.

Last March of the Ents has an opportunity to be a fun top end finisher in a lot of green-based Commander decks.

To say this card will be a powerhouse in commander is a bit of an understatement.

I did just that on this very channel in my recent Griselbrand episode (https://youtu.be/RuYtRHTdt-I), in which I described the benefits of pitching Atraxa, Grand Unifier to Force of Will. I described one of the benefits being that you get to reanimate Atraxa after the fact... A thing you literally can't do under any circumstance. Whoopsie. So today, I'm here to set the record straight and get that sorted out. Oh, and I also misread Jin-Gitaxias, so we cover that too.

| 09 Apr 2022 | 204 Errant, Street Artist | 00:07:33 | |
This card has so much potential, it's not even funny. It's a great early play against aggro strategies, and it sets up incredibly powerful late-game interaction. I absolutely love Errant, Street Artist.

During War of the Spark, Wizards of the Coast put out a product targeted at new players called Planeswalker Decks. The deck featuring Jace was helmed by Jace, Arcane Strategist and, frankly, it's bad. Like, real, real bad. Honestly, this is head and shoulders worse than Jace, Mirror Mage, and that's saying something.

| 01 Jun 2023 | 263 Saruman of Many Colors | 00:12:02 | |
Saruman of Many Colors is a card in the upcoming Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle Earth Magic: the Gathering set. The card represents Saruman, one of the series' iconic villains as an Esper creature capable of stealing spells from your opponents' graveyards. The wording on the card itself is confusing, though, so HamHocks42 is here to break down how the triggers operate to, hopefully, clear up any concerns you have at your gaming tables.
