I'm so glad I just gave Wizards all that money to make my ally deck viable. And Tuktuk Scrapper was such a fine hoser, too.

Easily one of my favorite cards from the set just for the ability to negate the initial ETB effect from the titans.
@ava_adore
Clone should still work. Its not an ability that triggers from it entering play, its a decision you make as the card is being cast.
If you decide to clone a Phyrexian Dreadnaught with this in play however, the cloned dread's new ETB ability (sacrificing creatures) would not trigger, where normally it would.
Its the same with Phyrexian Metamorph, if you want to go that route.

"Doesn't this affect champion? What about evoke? I'm just going by the Lorwyn FAQ, but the exile/sac are both triggered based on the permanent entering the battlefield. No 12/12 for 1, but more possible shenanigans."
As for champion, it looks pretty simple: this stops championing. Nothing is exiled, whether you want it to be or not.
As for evoke, I think it lets you play cards with evoke for their evoke cost as if they were vanilla creatures - no ETB ability, also no sacrifice, just a lower mana cost. Cloudthresher, for example, is normally a 7/7 with reach, flash and ETB: 2 damage to each creature with flying for 2GGGG, which is a pretty fair price considering the colored mana requirement or maybe just a little undercosted. With Torpor Orb out, it's a 7/7 with flash and reach for 2GG. Wow. That might be the real way to break this card.

After seeing this card, I went through my deck to see how many of the 21 creatures would be affected. The number that would be affected is 2, and one of those is Cloudthresher. This could fit in quite nicely...

Besides the obvious, Hunted Horror is happy.

For those of you looking for drawbackless fatties under the Orb, think of Wormfang Manta too. Now he can combo with Mimic Vat for infinite turns! I'm also looking forward to the new awesome power of Ovinomancer (who would just love to get stuck in a Vat as well).
