Title: More topor orb questions
Post by: Imdowd80 on May 08, 2012, 02:11:43 PM
Would the {topor orb} stop something like {evil twin} and those metemorph cards?  Since they come in as a copy is that a EBT?

 yes it would stop its ability and thus die from being a 0/0 if nothing else is keeping it alive.  (i think)

Side note move this to the rules forum.

{Torpor Orb} has no effect on how {Clone}-esque cards work since their ability defines how they enter play.  It doesn't trigger after they enter the BF.  It also doesn't affect creatures that enter with +1/+1, -1/-1, or any other counters either.

Clones ability is a replacement effect. It is not a triggered ability from entering the battlefield.

Speaking Of trigger ability would this card stop {Essence of the Wild}?

No because it works just like the other Clone effects.
