simple deck idea using Torpor Orb + negative ETB creatures w/ low CMC

Suggestions/Criticism is welcome and very much appreciated!

If you like the deck idea, don't forget to Upvote!

Creatures

• Vexing Devil : very versatile and can be used either in early game for its 4 straight damage or after Torpor Orb for a 4/3 body for

• Eater of Days : 9/8 flyer w/ trample, can block Griselbrand and is colorless, making it more difficult to remove.

• Boldwyr Heavyweights : awesome 8/8 trampler; its drawback is not even that bad when facing creatureless decks or strategies that don't have a key creature to be fetched

• Treacherous Pit-Dweller : 4/3 for with Undying is awesome already, now paired with Torpor Orb to make this guy not-so-treacherous is even better! You can even play him regularly without Torpor Orb on the field and wait until someone tries to kill him to respond with a flash Hushwing Gryff to keep him "faithful" to you!

• Hushwing Gryff : basically a Torpor Orb with wings, ok 2/1 body and flash means I can keep 2 mana up for Deflecting Palm in 1 turn and play it in opponents' end phase

• Hunted Horror : the big star here, this guy is pretty cheap for a 7/7 and you can even Lightning Bolt away its tokens if your Orb/Gryff gets destroyed, getting access to in this deck is pretty easy due to the shock lands

Spells

• Kolaghan's Command : pretty useful, I love cards that give me stuff to choose from and this one is certainly good in a lot of cases, makes you adapt your gameplan based on what you need

• Lightning Bolt : Don't really need an explanation, right?

Boros Charm : Nice modal card which allows me to hit for the win with Double Strike on Eater of Days or Boldwyr Heavyweights or protect my stuff with indestructible until end of turn, which makes this even more useful to protect Torpor Orb itself!

• Path to Exile : Despite the fact I don't like giving land advantage for my opponent, usually it won't matter anyway and the efficient removal is what matters here, might play with more than 2 copies

• Thoughtseize The 2 life is painful sometimes, but it's definetely worth it, due to playing many shock lands and fetches I decided to play only as a 3 of because of the life loss

Thanks everyone for the Upvotes, Comments & Suggestions!
