Wait a sec, doesn't this stop creatures with evoke from being sacrificed when they enter the battlefield? 7 of the 19 evokers have leaves-the-battlefield abilities, so that seems cool.
Also cool with Tempting Wurm and Eater of Days.

Snapcaster Mage, the Titans, Acidic Slime, Solemn Simulacrum, Masscre Wurm, etc.
And that's just in standard...

If you thought this card was good at hosing a neat array of strategies,
The new Grafdigger's Cage in Dark Ascension completely shuts down a variety of decks, most notably YawgWin.

Abilities worded as "This enters the battlefield with..." or "This enters the battlefield as..." are static. They're simply statements of fact. Examples: Phyrexian Metamorph, Diregraf Ghoul. Triggered abilities are worded "If/when condition do action." These don't happen. Your creatures don't activate their own abilities ("When this enters the battlefield..."). They don't activate abilities that trigger on creatures entering the battlefield (you won't gain life from Soul Warden), and it won't trigger abilities that trigger on other things (artifact creatures won't untap Grinding Stations).

Dear Torpor Orb,
As a lover of all my spells having legs, @#$% YOU!
Sincerely,
Johnny (and Timmy)
Seriously though, this thing hoses so many of my decks it's not even funny. Unless you're the one playing it, of course, then it's hilarious.
@DarthParallax:
In my opinion, Johnny is more likely to be interested in the kind of creatures that Torpor Orb turns off than is Timmy. Consider a Venser deck, if you will. However you want to build it, Venser decks tend to end up creature based, sure. But they're not Timmy decks. Consider also, U/W ally decks, who are by nature creature decks, but are bouncy control contraptions that don't often win by going sideways.
On the other hand, Timmy does like his spells with legs on too, but they are more of the flashy big variety. Stuff like Titans, Iona, Massacre Wurm and that ilk. This hurts him too, but not as much as it messes with Johnny. Timmy's stuff can get by without the extra rider, his deck isn't absolutely riding on it the way Joh... (see all)
