Orcish Medicine

Two protection modes stapled onto one instant, with the caster picking after the opponent commits: indestructible answers targeted removal and lets a creature block up a weight class clean, while lifelink turns a swing or a block into a life swing. Holding it up is the point, letting you name the relevant half once the opponent shows their hand. The amass rider underneath is where the card stops being a plain combat trick: every resolution leaves a permanent behind, growing an existing Orc Army or spinning up a fresh one, so the protection can be spent on a creature you would have traded away anyway and still bank a +1/+1 counter. That is the bargain amass strikes across the board, turning a reactive, sometimes-dead card into one that advances a position. The constraint worth naming is the single target: because the spell reads "target creature," an opponent who removes that creature in response fizzles the whole thing, amass and all, exactly the way any one-target trick whiffs. The design promises value on every cast that resolves, not on every cast. The line it rewards is the grind: soak a hit, gain the life off lifelink, and feed a token that swells a little more each time you reach for it, so the same card keeping a creature alive is quietly assembling a threat behind it.
