What does Torpor Orb do with Lost Auramancers?

Asked by nicochulo 6 years ago

Ok so imagine I have a Torpor Orb in play and I play a Lost Auramancers.The last part of the vanishing ability says: "when the last (time counter) is removed, sacrifice it".So since the Lost Auramancers gets no time counters once it enters, would it instantly be sacrificed or would I have to safrice it myself to trigger the second ability?

Torpor Orb only stops triggered abilities that trigger when a creature enters the battlefield.

Vanishing has two components. The first is a static ability that changes how the permanent enters the battlefield (it enters with N counters on it), the second is a triggered ability that triggers at the beginning of your upkeep. Torpor Orb won't interact with either ability.

So it won't remove any counters from Lost Auramancers in the first place?
