But it also works the other way. Triggers you’d prefer not to happen… also won’t. So you can cast a Vexing Devil, and when it enters the battlefield, its ability will say “Oh hey, shouldn’t I be doing something?” Then it will get a stern glance from Torpor Orb and wither under its gaze. The ability won’t trigger, it won’t go on the stack, and the opponent might be upset that you just got a 4/3 for R without providing the option to take 4 damage to get rid of it.
