Torpor Orb combo

by Jayden_Cruickshank1 on 24 October 2011

Main Deck (60 cards)

Artifacts (4)


Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Get big creatures out fast with Torpor Orb. Any suggestions on how to improve would be great.

One thing you should be aware of: I don't think Torpor is going to bring creatures in WITHOUT their -1 counters (e.g., Etched Monstrosity). Those counters are just a state of the game, not a ETB effect.
Another quirk: I tried Nyxathid on MTGO, and the "chose opponent" part was repressed by Torpor, but the game then chose my opponent by default, and reduced his PT by my opponent's card count, anyway. Which sucked.

If you're playing actual cards, I guess it's down to house rules about some of that stuff.

Stifle is in there as well, it essentially does the same job as Torpor Orb.

Hey Jayden_Cruickshank1,

I don't know if your just tweaking my posts and reposting them or great minds think alike but this deck looks like a minor twist on my
Black Sundial Deck
Deck link: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=218152

If you are just tweaking decks, just say so in the intro and post a link to the deck you borrowed from it's just considered good MTG Vault manners. I've done so with a few decks that I've tweaked and you should too.

If you never saw my deck before now, like I said great minds think alike.

I took a look at your deck and yes they are very similar, but no I didn't get my idea from your deck and I haven't seen your deck until now. I also have tweaked other peoples decks and when I do I always mention the other persons deck.
I must say tho, it is a huge coincidence that our decks are so similar and you had every right to suspect me of copying your deck.

P.S - I before seeing your deck I had never thought of using sundial as a second torpor orb, but I think I'll stick to stifle =)
