Deck Description

GO GIT DA BOYZ! DA BOSS IS CALLIN' FOR A GOOD SCRAP!
Orks is da bestest and this deck is out ta prove dat!

This is an Orc tribal aggro deck, based around the best Ork ever, Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka, da Prophet of da Waaagh! who was lucky enough to get an entry in a Secret Lair, as a reskin for Zurgo Helmsmasher.
I have also included other cards from the Secret Lair, such as Krenko as Makari, Da Vulcha for Skysoverign and Ork Kommando as Merciless Executioner!

How to Play

Assemble da boyz and getz youz into da foight!
Orks naturally accumulate in areas of great violence, which in turn attracts MORE Orks to the area. So just play as many Orks as you can and swing at everyone's face!

There are some cool additions that make this deck propa Orky, such as the inclusion of cards such as Dynacharge to show off the latest tech from da Mekboyz and Glorious Charge to show how Orks always fight harder when there's others beside them doing the same.

And no, I don't apologise for writing bits of this like an Ork, yes I am spelling it that way because that's the Warhammer 40,000 spelling.

Deck discussion for WAAAGH!

Tolkien was inspired by other languages while writing his own, and a lot of Danish words made up parts of the orcish language. Coincidentally ork is a Danish word, and is often used in two sentences one as an added confirmation of yes or no (ork ja, ork nej) and the other occasion involves being tired (jeg orker ikke mere) basically translating into "I can't do anymore" but directly "I don't ork anymore.

He also used "gris" the Danish word for pig as the orcish word for pink.

Huh. I didn't know that!
But I also thought that gris was French for grey. I work in liquor retail, and the variety known as Pinot Gris is decently popular in my area.

Could be that each country has a Tolkien myth of their own.

The French "gris" for grey does remind me of an old voodoo item, the "grisgris" and French and voodoo does have some old roots in language. Perhaps the grisgris were also grey...

In Tolkien's work, orcs were both grey and black in skin colour and some were more articulated than others.

How they all turned green and dumb in ad&d is a bit of a mystery to me :)
