Does torpor orb stop jhoira, weatherlight Captain

Asked by Monomanamaniac 2 years ago

So in this scenario I have Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain and Torpor Orb in play and I cast Jhoira's Familiar. The question is, do I get to draw a card? Torpor orb stops triggers from creature etbs, and the familiar is a creature, but jhoira isn't triggering because a creature entered but an artifact. I think the orb would block that draw but I'm not sure

Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain doesn't trigger on ETB, it triggers on the spell being cast. Torpor Orb has no interaction with Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain.

If instead we use something that does trigger on an artifact entering the battlefield, like Kappa Cannoneer, you are correct Torpor Orb will stop the trigger from Jhoira's Familiar entering.
