The most versatile Orc opening: Farseer, Headhunters and two burrows before tech, with harass or creeping depending on the matchup.

The fastest standard Orc tech: Farseer harass while you skip the Barracks and go straight to Stronghold at 17 supply. Strongest against Human but also viable vs races such as undead to mass wyvern.

The standard Orc opener: one burrow, Barracks and Voodoo Lounge before a 20 supply Stronghold, three Grunts and a quick second hero. Flexible into any tier 2 or 3 plan.

The safe Orc opener: second burrow and two Grunts before tech at 23 supply. Slower than one burrow tech but far harder to punish. Common in the mirror match up and vs Night Elf.

Quick Headhunters with a slow Tauren Chieftain: Barracks before Altar, three Headhunters by the time the hero is out. Straightforward, strongest in team games.

The 2 Burrow Headhunter build with one Grunt first for extra damage and tankiness while creeping. Mostly seen in the Orc mirror and on maps with tougher early camps.
