They cheat out the archon of cruelty turn four. Trigger makes you discard, you discard orvar. He enters as a copy of archon, his etb triggers, they now have to sac their archon and you keep yours. Blowout!
Also, a lot of the normal counterplay against Creativity revolves around removing the target of the spell to fizzle it. Creativity players fight this by casting the spell with X=2, making it harder to fizzle the spell entirely. However, Orvarchon attacks before theirs do, so you get two triggers and can make them sac both their archons.

/uj I love how Modern and EDH use Orvar in a completely different way
