Description
Released in 1995 as part of the Ice Age expansion, Orcish Cannoneers (#205) is an Uncommon creature card within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Designed by Dan Frazier, this card captures the gritty, survivalist tone of the set’s Arctic setting. As a Creature — Orc Warrior with a mana cost of {1}{R}{R}, it represents a bold strategic choice for players who enjoy high-risk, high-reward mechanics. The card’s defining feature is its ability to deal 2 damage to any target while simultaneously dealing 3 damage to its controller.

Its status as card number 205 in the Ice Age set makes it a key identifier for enthusiasts completing their catalog. Whether you are building a vintage collection or exploring the roots of competitive gameplay, Orcish Cannoneers stands out as a memorable artifact of 1990s card design.
