In this edition of Overthinking MTG, HamHocks42 looks at Jin-Gitaxias, the latest Praetor from March of the Machine that proves you can have it all as  a card draw engine AND a free-casting enabler all on one card. Getting it to pop off is no small feat, but the top-end potential on this card is nothing short of nuts.

Overthinking MTG is a podcast where our host, HamHocks42, takes a look at a random card from Magic: the Gathering and talks about it for a while.  Often, though, he ends up yammering about whatever's on the top of his mind that the card reminds him of and a half hours passes and it turns out all he's done is share his thoughts on recent news related to Commander, Magic: the Gathering Arena, Modern, Pioneer, Standard, or humorous anecdotes from his kitchen table jank days.

These two heroes from Ixalan - Ghalta, Primal Hunger, and Mavren Fein, Dusk Apostle - have joined forces to become simply "Ghalta and Mavren," a new legendary dinosaur vampire in March of the Machine that rewards you for both going wide AND going tall! This design allows for a ton of flexibility and, let's be honest, who doesn't want to ride a dinosaur into battle?

Tyvar, Jubilant Brawler is part of the Phyrexia: All Will Be One planeswalker strike team that survives Phyrexia's influence throughout this set. His card is also amazing in a number of ways that elevate mana dorks and other small utility creatures to amazing heights. In Standard, our jubilant brawler friend has a ton of tools to leverage and we're going to go over five of them in this video. In other formats, there are a variety of other creatures we can use to amazing effect with his plus one loyalty ability.

There are five mono-colored Dominuses in Phyrexia: All Will Be One. Today, we rank them by power and discuss their applications within the game. Some are certainly more efficient than others, with some looking like they'll see little play where others look to become Commander staples as well as potential players in 60-card competitive formats like Standard, Explorer, Pioneer, and Modern.

Boros planeswalkers have a bad reputation of being boring aggro/equipment filler that don't really give your gameplan a significant boost when they hit the battlefield. I've heard people writing off Nahiri, the Unforgiving as just another Boros planeswalker, and I could not disagree more with that assessment. Compleated Nahiri can take advantage of a filled graveyard by not only reanimating creatures, but also equipment with Living Weapon or For Mirrodin! As a result, this Nahiri can work as a top-end recursive threat in a cheap aggro strategy while also functioning as a combo enabler in midrange decks.

Nissa, Ascended Animist looks like a very powerful card that can make a huge splash in casual formats, but does it have what it takes in Standard? HamHocks42 breaks down this new compleated planeswalker to see if she has what it takes to make a splash in competitive formats. In short, is the card good?

Phyrexian Obliterator is coming back into Standard through Phyrexia: All Will Be One and it's the kind of card that will pull a ton of attention with both direct removal and hot takes on Twitter. As such, I wanted to add my own take here and just ask the question: does Phyrexian Obliterator still have it and can it hold up in today's Standard environment?

In this edition of The Overthinking MTG Podcast, HamHocks42 takes a look at an individual card that gives a massive benefit to everyone at the table. This card, Veteran Explorer, is truly awful in almost any 1v1 setting, but in a Commander pod where the goal is to enjoy a high-flying game, it can be an interesting way to jumpstart the action. It's truly a terrible card, but possibly the best terrible card.

Wizards of the Coast gave us a Christmas Eve present in spoiling Kaito, Dancing Shadow from Phyrexia: All Will Be One. HamHocks42 is diving deep in this video to see if the card is any good and in what types of decks you might actually see him. Also, he discusses the story implications and what this might mean for everyone's favorite white removal spell in Standard - The Wandering Emperor.
