Torpor Orb in the board for amulet combo

i'm wondering if putting Torpor Orb in the sideboard for my amulet combo to fight twin would be a good idea, i mean it effectively turns my combo deck into a midrange deck (removes combo from titan) while stopping twin from going off completely, i'm pretty sure a primeval titan is still a faster clock than anything twin would be using to race with
I think the main problem for Amulet is the Blood Moon out of the board from Twin. I've never seen Bloom beat that card...

if ur playing amulet bloom which it sounds like u are, do not play torpor orb. it turns off ur combo and the only reason why amulet combo is good. play Nature's Claim and Slaughter Pact. They are broader and less bad for u.

selesvyaloverer8: agreed. if you can't grab lands off the titan's etb trigger, you have a hard time finishing the match before your opponent can stabilize. Plus, most amulet decks also use Hive Mind.

I get it turns off my own fetching but that is nothing compared to their combo, I can still titan beat down and it'll get me the time I need to get my forests (if I don't get titan before blood moon) so in a sense it makes beating blood moon easier aswell

Seems fine to me.
