But have you ever stopped to wonder why? In this episode, HamHocks42 discusses what makes this card so powerful and why Arena players might have reason to be concerned if they're trying to ladder up in Historic or plan on drafting Shadows Over Innistrad Remastered once it drops. 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. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hamhocks42/support

It's been a while since we've talked about a single card's journey through Standard. Let's remedy that. When's the last time you were terrified of a white creature with flash? Archangel Avacyn? Spell Queller? Heron's Grace Champion? Well, the card on the table today might be the best of the bunch. Hailing from Avacyn Restored, this angel came out of the gate swinging and only stopped when it rotated. Time to be scared of four open mana again, Restoration Angel is the topic of discussion!

It's been a while since we talked about Innistrad for an episode, hasn't it? Landing back in 2012, this deck only existed for about two and a half months before an Avacyn Restored card absolutely removed it from any kind of viability. Join us as we talk about the meteoric rise and fall of Drogskol Captain and friends with Esper Spirits!
The Pioneer format has exploded in popularity in Japan recently due to the upcoming Magic Fest in Nagoya. GP Nagoya will be the first ever Pioneer GP along with GP Brussels in Belgium. As some of you might know, I started my blog around Avacyn Restored and soon afterwards I began keeping an up to date Japanese to English vocabulary page on my blog, www.thejapanhobbyist.com. If you've been listening to my past podcasts then you know that I posted another episode about basic Magic the Gathering vocabulary you need to know to play MTG in Japan. You can find that episode here. In today's episode I'm joined by a special guest and level one judge in Japan, Taichi Nishizawa. We go over all of the vocabulary from Return to Ravnica block to Theros Beyond Death, and explain how to use the vocabulary while playing a game in Japanese. If you're a Magic player living in Japan, visiting for a Grand Prix or other event, or just want to practice speaking Japanese, give it a listen!
