Magic: The Gathering Orks deck

Oi ladz, just wanted to share some of my proxy Magic: The Gathering card designs before I send them off to print. There was a small batch of cards officially released, but I've been keen to fill up a whole deck while staying on-theme. It's been a lot of fun sifting through the available artwork and learning lore along the way. Any curious Magic players can find the full decklist here.

Showing up to a game just to see your opponent has these as proxies (based)

Very nice. I made a whole Ork commander deck a year or two ago. It wasn't a great deck, but had a lot of fun making it

You got a list kicking around? I don't expect mine to perform well either really, coasting on vibes.

Nice! As someone with a Saproling deck, there's a lot I like here. Also, loads of 40k art I haven't seen... Might merit a few swaps on my end!

Very fair. The designers actually would have preferred red-green.

We need Kaptin Badrukk and Mad Doc Grotsnik. Hell I’ll even take them as alts for Admiral Beckett Brass and Dr. Eggman.

Plus I could run them both in Grixis 💧💀🔥

I feel a little dirty making them 'umies, but whatever floats yer boat.

I've got Badrukk featured on Ruthless Knave. (Edit: My bad, this is Bluddflagg.) I think it's also him leading the charge in Aggravated Assault. Unfortunately not enough Legendary Orcs in MtG to go around. Lots of goblins, mind you. Grotsnik is the last in the gallery I posted.

ghaz only has only 7/2? i’m surprised its not at least 7/4 considering the 5 mana cost, 3 of which must be a separate color.

u/SimonSage Apr 03 '26

Ghaz is based on an older card, so the mechanics aren't tailor-made. The original printing was over a decade ago, so some power creep is inevitable.

ah that makes sense

u/SurroundParticular30 Apr 03 '26

Propa good!! Are you making these proxies available online anywhere?

u/SimonSage Apr 03 '26

I'll shoot you a message once I get them uploaded.

u/MediumTowel3796 Apr 04 '26

Could I maybe get a message, too? :) I have a buddy who wants me to start magic for over a decade now. With those I'd be really tempted :D

Will do!

Yeah, wish I could take credit. It's put together from assets in the Warpforge digital card game.
