Trained Orgg

All orggs know how to kill; training teaches them *what* to kill.

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.

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.

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.
