Even better in a draft, it just keeps enchanting the best creature. Much better than pacifism.

Keeps your opponent's best creature out of the game. A better one comes into play? That's no problem with this card.

On top of this, that card can also be moved to creatures with shroud, right? I guess paying double-white is worth it if you get such a nicely buffed version of Arrest.

Mode, a creature with shroud can not have this on them. Anything that goes specifically to a target, can not activate on something with shroud.
And for the record, I HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE this enchantment.

Creatures with shroud can get this moved onto them, because it only deals with targeting, which this card does not do. Creatures with protection from white cannot, because it specifically states it can't be enchanted or equipped by anything of that type.
So, if someone used Prison Term on a creature of yours before, and you summon something with an ability that you can use during the turn it comes out, can you trigger that ability before Prison Term is moved to said creature? That is, assuming your opponent wants to move Prison Term to the most recently summoned creature.

This is probably the most elegant of the designs in the same vein. Cage of Hands / Stasis Cell. But for some reason, I still like Cage of Hands better. It must be that I can save the cage if all the creatures in play are about to be destroyed.

You can attach this to creatures with shroud that come into play after this has already been cast, seeing as how the trigger does not specify a target.

@smradio: Yes, if you play a creature with an activated ability, you can use the creature's ability while the Prison Term trigger that would allow your opponent to attach it to your creature is on the stack. But there are a couple of restrictions on this: 1. Obviously, this won't work with tap abilities unless the creature has haste. 2. The "you may attach Prison Term to that creature" wording of the ability means that your opponent choosing whether to attach Prison Term is part of the resolution of the effect. So you will have to choose to activate your creature's ability or not before your opponent is required to decide whether to move Prison Term over.

It stop Emrakul, the Aeons Torn easy. Cause the switch ability is a ability not a spell.
I play it 4 time with Sun titan in my 3-4 multiplayer casual game.

Please note this works on Emrakul as it does not target a creature with it's ability. It's awesome to watch people scratch their heads for a turn or two and then bolt their own creature just to get rid of this.

I guess this would be overpowered if it killed the creatures it was detached from-- but it would make more sense :p
This way, it looks like you just let robbers go free if you see a murder, and murderers go free if you see a homicidal maniac....
