Deceive the Messenger (LTR-498 foil) is a blue instant from The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth. It gives target creature -3/-0 until end of turn and then instructs you to amass Orcs 1, which puts a +1/+1 counter on an Army you control or creates a 0/0 black Orc Army token first if you have none. The card supports incremental board growth by turning or bolstering an Army creature into an Orc and can both weaken an attacker or blocker and contribute to long-term creature improvement.
