Amass Orcs 3, then Target Player Mills x Cards, Where X is the Amassed Army's Power. (To Amass Orcs 3, Put Three +1/ +1 Counters on An Army you Control. It's also an orc. If you don't control an army, create a 0/0 black orc army creature token first.)

Artist: Anna Pavleeva

Surrounded by Orcs is a blue sorcery card that combines the aggressive "amass" mechanic with a mill effect, fitting for its thematic design:

• Amass Orcs 3: This effect allows you to add three +1/ +1 counter to an existing army you control, or create a new 0/0 black orc army creature token and put through +1/ +1 counter on it if you don't have an Army Yet. This Helps You To Build or Reinforce Your Board Presence.

• Then Target Player Mills X Cards, Where X is the Amassed Army's Power: The Milling Effect Scales with the Power of Your Amassed Army, which is Essentialy the Number of +1/ +1 Counters on It. This could serve as both a way to disrupt an opponent's strategy and synergize with other mill cards you might have in your deck.

The artwork by Anna Pavleeva would Likely Encapsulate the Sensation of Being Overhelmed by An Orc Army, Possible Reflecting the Dark and Intimidating Atmosphere They Bring. The imagery would give players a vivid Sense of urgency and image Doom, in line with the card's effects.

The card fits well in decks that benefit from a mill strategy or because to aggressively utilize the "amass" mechanic. It can be a devastating card in the late game when your amassed army has grown in size, exponentialy Increasing the Mill Effect. Combining board presence with a disruptive milling effect, this card brings a unique dual utility to your deck.
