Is it frowned upon to use cards like  {Winter Orb},  {Smoke},   {Static Orb}, and  {Crawlspace} in commander?

I don't see anything wrong with smoke or crawlspace. Winter or static orb are going to bring some serious hate your way, though.

Things that lock somebody's ability to play down are generally frowned upon like {Winter Orb}, {Iona, Shield of Emeria}, and  {Mindlock Orb}.
Side Note:
I just realized that all the orbs do interesting or annoying things: {Dispersing Orb}, {Mesmeric Orb}, {Orb of Dreams}, {Torpor Orb}, {Witchbane Orb}, {Zuran Orb}

Looking forward to your Orb Themed EDH deck.

Don't forget the other original orbs....  {Chaos Orb} and  {Icy Manipulator}
Though I think chaos is banned.
The original art for icy is an orb

Just hope your opponent doesn't go on a {Shattering Spree}.

Honestly, I prefer {Vandalblast}.
Also YES. I will start on that orb deck now. All lockdown hate cards. No one will like me :-)

Remeber to bring  {Curse of Exhaustion} and  {Possibility Storm}

Just remember.  {Icy Manipulator} your  {Static Orb} at the end of your last opponents turn so you can untap all your stuff

I guess if you throw a {Darksteel Forge} in the orb deck your life may be in danger by the end of the night!

{icy manipulator}

Classic card and used to be so damn powerful!

I still have an unlimited one.  I love that art.
