I didn't see any results for Hushwing Gryff, and only a couple of unrelated ones for Torpor Orb. Do these abilities trigger? If I had to guess I'd say 1. yes (the triggering event isn't an ETB), 2. no (delayed trigger never gets created), and 3. no (just doesn't trigger). Confirm/deny?
1. Ephara, God of the Polis
"At the beginning of each upkeep, if you had another creature enter the battlefield under your control last turn, draw a card."
2. Saltskitter (end step trigger)
"Whenever another creature enters the battlefield, exile Saltskitter. Return Saltskitter to the battlefield under its owner's control at the beginning of the next end step."
Does Saltskitter still get the second trigger?
3. Creatures with Soulbond
"You may pair this creature with another unpaired creature when either enters the battlefield. They remain paired for as long as you control both of them."
Ephara, God of the Polis is unaffected. Hushwing Gryff only affects triggers that are looking for something that could be a creature entering the battlefield, in the form of "whenever a [creature/permanent/etc] enters the battlefield, ...", "when [this] enters the battlefield", etc.
Saltskitter's ETB trigger creates the delayed trigger to return it. No ETB trigger, no delayed trigger created.
Yes, the ability prevents soulbond from triggering.
“It's possible. But it involves... {checks archives} Nature's Revolt, Opalescence, two Unstable Shapeshifters (one of which started as a Doppelganger), a Tide, an animated land, a creature with Fading, a Silver Wyvern, some way to get a creature into play in response to stuff, some way to get a land into play in response to stuff (a different land from the animated land), and one heck of a Rube Goldberg timing diagram.”
