Overzealous Muscle: Crime Pays in Brawn
Overzealous Muscle is a straight forward beatstick built for a crime heavy plan. The 5/4 body arrives for {4}{B} and turns combat math into an advantage when you execute a crime during your turn. The card reads cleanly and rewards an aggressive sequence of plays that pressure opponents while giving you a reliable window of indestructibility.
As a seasoned player you will use Overzealous Muscle to tax removal and push damage through. It pairs well with sacrifice outlets and effects that count or create crimes to trigger its indestructible shield repeatedly. The flavor matches Outlaws of Thunder Junction by tying mechanical benefit to rule bending and calculated risk rather than raw trickery.
