Title: Undying torpor orb
Post by: Ghebert on July 09, 2012, 06:18:01 PM
How would an undying creature entering the battlefield from a graveyard react with a {Torpor Orb} in play?

If I'm correct the undying triggers while the creature is still in the graveyard.

You are correct, the orb does NOTHING!

So {Treacherous Pit-Dweller} will trigger undying then come back to my control with a counter on it? Because it enters the battlefield and then the ability won't trigger due to {Torpor Orb}.

The orb does something there.

Orb stops any ETB triggers, irregardless of how they entered.  TPD's OTHER trigger (undying) is unaffected, but its {Donate} trigger is stopped.

I sense a really good B/R aggro deck brewing :)
Yes I would include {Fling} for fun and giggles.

Same. Lots of good {B} creatures with ETB drawbacks to turn off. Orb and {Sexy Devil} is good stuff.

Also, what are some good creatures to take avantage of when using torpor orb? I have {Vexing Devil} and {Treacherous Pit-Dweller}. Any other suggestions?

Would {topor orb} stop the champion ability working? On say {mistbind clique}?

Yes. Champion is an Enters the Battlefield (EtB) ability.
