Was recently at a MTG tournament. I used torpor orb then I cast thing in the ice. Would like to know if thing in the ice comes into play with no counters on it. Need a judges ruling on the two card's and if the counters are removed with torpor orb? Ty
There is no interaction here. Torpor orb stops triggered abilities, that trigger form creatures entering the battlefield, form triggering. You can spot a triggered ability by it beginning with the word “when,” “whenever,” or “at.” Torpor orb doesn't stop replacement effects such as TitI's 'enter with counters' ability or a Clone's ability.
This has no impact on the Ice Counters on Thing in the Ice since Thing "enters with". That is, it's not a triggered ability that Torpor Orb will prevent.
K ty. I forfeited the wins without knowing the ruling. I assumed any ability that said to-do something as a creaturre entered the battle field was a triggered ability.
