Nice card that I pulled from a booster. Fits perfectly to my modified Carnival of Blood intro deck.
On the other hand (no pun intended), I learned to use this the hard way when me and my friends were playing a 2vs2-match and my teammate had my mono black deck. Quite early I cast this and realized too late that my teammate's Ravenous Rats', Rune-Scarred Demon and Geralf's Messenger were shot in the leg. Needless to say we lost, and I've been playing less while drinking since.

Take this Avacyn Restored and Innistrad block.
No more Soulbound or Geralf's Messenger and things like that.

Oh man, the duder in the background is Entomber Exarch. They're even by the same artist. SNEAKY

Should have printed something like this:
Blightsteel Dreadnought
Trample, infect
CARDNAME is indestructible
When CARDNAME enters the battlefield, sacrifice it unless you sacrifice any number of creatures with total power 12 or greater.
12/12
It's different so it circumvents the reserve list.
@steev
Entomber Exarch is Phyrexian... so the Phyrexians created an artifact that stops the abilities of their own dudes?

Just looked it up and this does not affect undying. The creature would still come back with a +1/+1 counter as undying is triggered when the creature dies, not when it reenters the battlefield. The counter is a replacement effect and is not prevented by the orb. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks to blink effects, this card is going to be a sideboard staple in Standard for as long as Scars block is still in it. There is so much it stops, and for only two mana. Get it while you can.
EDIT: Yes, this does stop soulbond. Soulbond is a triggered ability that triggers when either the creature with soulbond enters the battlefield, or another creature enters the battlefield and an unpaired creature with soulbond is already on the battlefield. Torpor Orb stops it from triggering.
Basically, you can read soulbond as "When ~ enters the battlefield, you may pair it..." and likewise for when your soulbonder's already on the battlefield and another creature enters.

Oh, I see.. it's a difference between "when" a creature enters and "as" a creature enters.
Soulbond triggers "when" and not "as", so Torpor Orb stops it.
I stand corrected.
