What it does

tap: This creature deals 2 damage to any target and 3 damage to you.

In a rare display of ingenuity, the Orcs invented an incredibly destructive weapon. Most Orcish artillerists are those who dared criticize its effectiveness.

Provenance

Where it came from

Orcish Artillery was originally introduced in the Alpha set of Magic: The Gathering in 1993, with the Unlimited Edition printing following shortly thereafter as part of the game's first wave of base sets. Designed by Richard Garfield and published by Wizards of the Coast, the card reflects the early fantasy aesthetic of the game, intended to capture the volatile and destructive nature of goblin warfare within the game's mechanics.

The artwork for the card was created by Anson Maddocks, one of the original illustrators for the game. His style, characterized by a gritty and textured approach, helped define the visual identity of the early Magic sets. The card was designed to function as a red-aligned damage dealer, balancing its ability to strike creatures or players with a self-damaging drawback that forces the player to manage their own life total as a resource.
