Gameplay

Creature — Orc Warrior

{T}: This creature deals 2 damage to any target and 3 damage to you.

In a rare display of ingenuity, the orcs invented an incredibly destructive weapon. Most orcish artillerists are those who dared criticize its effectiveness.

You do not take the 3 points of damage if the ability doesn't resolve because the target is illegal.
