Are there any other cards besides Torpor Orb that shut down "enters the battlefield" abilities? I'm thinking of including an "anti-ETB" component in my next deck and ideally, it won't just be Torpor Orb and a bunch of tutors to get it.
I'm open to any/all cards regardless of color/type.
While it doesn't shut down ETB effects, Gather Specimens allows you to use it to your advantage. Phenomenal synergy with Living Death or the card that exiles one player's board until end of turn (the name escapes me).

That is definitely going in a deck someday. I really like that little mini-combo.
Now as for the discussion at hand. Well to my knowledge Torpor Orb is the the only permanent that stops ETB effects. There are a handful of counters most if not all are in Blue and Green. With white having some counter target spells if it targets you.
There are plenty of cards in Red that change who a creature enters the battlefield under. While it may not exactly prevent ETB effects it definitely hampers those playing them.

Think you are talking about Ghostway. Thankfully I have not had someone use Gather Specimens on me when I use that.

Sudden Disappearance WOULD be pretty fun with gather specimens.

When you absolutely, positively got to kill every permanent in the room, accept no substitutes.
