Neotrup on Does Orcish Artillery target?

Does it say something like "target player who controls Orcish Artillery?" A spell or ability only targets what it says it targets and doesn't target anything else. In this case, Orcish Artillery targets a creature or player for 2 damage and deals 3 damage to you without targeting. A result of this is that if the targeted creature or player becomes illegal before resolution, it will be countered and not deal damage to you, as per this ruling:
10/4/2004 You do not take the 3 points of damage if the ability is countered because the target is illegal.

If I may direct the conversation the other way a little bit... I do think that there are inherently great cards that you should have a very good reason for cutting like Sol Ring or Serum Visions if you're in their colors. However on the opposite side of the spectrum, there are cards that are inherently bad and are almost never played except by people making decks to attempt to prove a point.
Cards like Alabaster Leech, Doom Cannon, Scornful Egotist, Devastating Summons, Orcish Artillery and many others have way to high of a drawback to ever be useful. Now I'm sure someone somewhere will disagree with me but unless you design the deck around making it playable those are never cards that you instinctively turn to. Like clayperce brought up, its because the vast majority of the time they fail 3 or 4 of those tests and require way to much probability manipulation to ever pay off in a reliable way.
