One of my favorite cards in mtg is torpor orb. It stops allot of cards: snapcaster, prime time, reflector mage. A big modern human deck stopper, lol.
But one think that was just pointed out to me. Orb also stops primal Forcemage.
I was surprised. I’ve been playing foremage for years, and I always thought orb didn’t effect it because it wasn’t pertaining to it at all, but my other creatures.
It is this right? Have I’ve been wrong all this time?
Yes. The ability is "Creatures entering the battlefield don't cause abilities to trigger." rather than "Creatures entering the battlefield don't cause their own abilities to trigger."

* Torpor Orb stops a creature's own enters-the-battlefield triggered abilities as well as other triggered abilities that would trigger when a creature enters the battlefield.

Why bother with mere rulings when so many answers can be found in the Rules?
