The Orc

The Orc, natively known as Orgg or Lorgg is a mountain demon, which is feared by the peoples of the Alps. In the Early Middle Ages, the Celto-Roman god Orcus, like many other pagan figures, was downgraded to a simple creature of Alpine Mythology, serving here as a demon punishing human actions often as a protector of animal life, but other times its actions are just of pure evil.

Appearance

The Orc, in its various manifestations, exhibits a curious blend of humanoid and animalistic characteristics. It is often described as having a head resembling that of a large dog, bear-like fur, a broad mouth with iron teeth, and a snake-like tail. Its eyes are said to emit a fiery glow, adding to its eerie presence. Also, it has disproportionately long arms, allowing it to reach far and wide, and its razor-sharp claws, resembling those found on scavenging vultures. Despite its animal-like appearance, the Orc is quite proficient in using tools and weapons. It is frequently portrayed wielding scythes with skill and precision.

Behaviour

The Orc is a complex figure in Alpine mythology, with its actions and intentions varying across different narratives. It can be a playful trickster. In some tales, it revels in pranks and mischief, bringing perplexity and laughter to its encounters. The Orc also appears as a guardian of the forest or as the lord of animals, warning wild animals of hunters, or as a demonic herdsman aiding livestock.

However, the Orc also possesses a darker side. It can transform into a menacing presence, attempting to harm humans and animals. Stories tell of it appearing suddenly in fields, and using blades like a sharp sickle to injure those who dare to approach and steal from it. It has the ability to hide everywhere only emitting eerie whistles or bird-like calls, and it strikes with swift and frightening agility. Sometimes it can also be heard singing songs like:

"Sharpen, sharpen good, and cut through the legs as through wood!"

Origin

In Roman mythology, Orcus served as an alternative name for deities like Pluto, Hades, or Dis Pater, all associated with the realm of the dead. Orcus specifically denoted the darker aspect of these gods, responsible for the punishment of sinners in the afterlife. The origins of Orcus likely traces back to Etruscan religious beliefs. Additionally, Orcus was a name used to refer to a Gallic god of the underworld. It is unknown wether the Orc is related to another bad spirit known as the Norc.

Krenko’s Guide to Creature Types: Orgg

Art by Kev Walker

What is an Orgg (flavorfully)?

It’s a huge, green murderous being with massive bat-like ears and two extra arms. They live on Dominaria among the Orcs and Goblins. The MtG Wiki claims they’re Orc/Ogre hybrids but doesn’t have a source for this. Whatever they are, they’re incredibly powerful and clearly mutated.

What is an Orgg (mechanically)?

The four Orggs are 6/6 monored creatures. Two of them- which is a full half- have trample and drawbacks.

Can I make an Orgg deck?

Four Orggs with costs 5 and 7 is not enough to do anything.

Is Orgg a good creature type?

If Orggs are really Orc/Ogre hybrids, they should be creature type Orc/Ogre. If they’re not… then Orgg is still an awful creature type. Creature types have a few jobs, and Orgg fails at all of them. One job is to tell us what the thing we’re looking at is, but as all four have Orgg in the name and nobody actually knows what an Orgg is, the added typeline of “Orgg” is basically a shrug. Another is to remind us of a shared mechanical identity like Praetor, but the Orgg don’t have the same mechanics, just the same Power and Toughness. Another, of course, is for the creature type to have a mechanical impact on the game, but not even the four Orggs care what an Orgg is. 

Orgg is a complete failure of a creature type and the annoying part here is that Wizards knew it, printing Trained Orgg as a Beast three times before Judgement and Onslaught brought back Orgg before they were completely discarded again.

Orggs should be Ogres.

Orgg - Indomita

Black Metal from Italy

Orgg is a Black Metal band born in 2018 to bring in music the excruciatingly painful events of the Great White War (Gebirgskrieg in german, Guerra bianca in italian). The project is entirely dedicated to the first world war; specifically to the battles taking place in the Dolomites area between Italy and the Austro-Hungarian empire. We felt the urge to write these songs to honour the majestic nature that was once raped by man during this conflict, carving mountains to place explosives to win opponent’s positions. What we now consider one of the most beautiful and peaceful places on Earth, was once the theater of monstrosities: the mighty landscapes were filled with bodies and machines that can still be found in these days to testify the folly of men. Orgg is not celebrating war. Orgg is celebrating the survival of nature over the actions of mankind.
