Torpor Orb

Appreciating Unique Cards

About the original ravnica's hunted cycle, as many other, they are really apreciated in commader, as well as jhonny players(I think the black hunted one is famous in a deck with the torpor orb), but thats not my point, my point is that many player love to go around the gatherer and find some awsome strange card they never heard about and that fits perfectly in their commander deck, or casual deck or "let's have some fund in X formart" deck, and that I hope you keep up with it.

If we have information that shows people like something, we’re much more likely to do more of it. As I said in my original answer, I can see us doing one-ofs of the mechanic, but less likely to do a full cycle.

Torpor Orb Limitation

If torpor orb is on the battlefoeld, can Mishra's Toy Workshop still be used to cast Myr Battlesphere?

Nope. If the spell/effect will not generate tokens, the Workshop cannot be used.

Mishra's Toy Factory Mechanics

So even though Acorn Catapult doesn't immediately generate tokens upon coming into play, Mishra's Toy Factory can still be used to cast it? And can Mishra's Toy Factory be used to cast Myr Battlesphere (or, say, an Equipment with Living weapon) if there's a Torpor Orb or Hushwing Gryff in play? Can Mishra's Toy Factory be used to cast any creature if Genesis Chamber is in play?

Oops. I confused two cards. You can use Mishra’s Factory to activate Acorn Catapult or to cast Acorn Harvest. You may not use it to cast Acorn Catapult as it does not directly create tokens when cast.

Artifacts vs Enchantments

What is the difference between artifacts and enchantments? It always seemed to me that artifacts have activated abilities while enchantments have static ones. But what about torpor orb. Why is it an artifact and not an enchantment?

There is very little that separate the two mechanically. Their biggest divide is flavor.

Torpor Orb Wishes

Can we have more effects like Torpor Orb? Or some way to deal with enters the battlefield effects that aren't counterspells?

There’s a good chance we can make more cards like that.

Red and Torpor Orb

With white and blue being the two "Flickering" colors, can Red get Torpor Orb added to its part of the color pie?

Maybe. Let me think about it.
