# Orcish Oriflamme Orcish Oriflamme represents early Magic design when combat tricks were straightforward and efficient. As an Alpha uncommon, it's a functional card that saw actual play in its era, giving creatures +1/+0 and first strike for a single red mana. Collectors value it primarily for its age and set status rather than power level. Alpha cards command premiums regardless of playability, and this piece of red's foundational toolkit appeals to players interested in the game's mechanical history. The nonfoil version remains accessible compared to rarer Alpha cards, making it a reasonable entry point for set collectors building complete Alpha runs.
