Deceive the Messenger gives a target creature -3/-0 until the end of turn, effectively weakening an opponent's threat while also allowing you to amass Orcs. This can help in stalling aggressive creatures and building your own Army. It's useful in control decks that want to maintain board presence while generating value through the Orcs mechanic.
