Description
Orcish Artillery, numbered 168, is a distinctive uncommon creature card from the 1994 Magic: The Gathering Summer Magic set. This release, also known as the Edgar set, is a rare artifact in the history of the trading card game due to its extremely limited distribution. The card features an Orc Warrior with a mana cost of {1}{R}{R} and a power/toughness of 1/3, designed by Anson Maddocks. In gameplay, Orcish Artillery offers a high-risk, high-reward mechanic that has made it a memorable piece for collectors of early Magic: The Gathering history. The card allows players to deal damage to any target while simultaneously taking damage themselves, reflecting the chaotic and experimental nature of the game's earliest days. For enthusiasts of the Summer Magic expansion, adding this card to a collection represents a connection to a pivotal moment in TCG development. The set's unique status and the card's aggressive design continue to draw interest from dedicated players and historians of the hobby.

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