I love the fact that they have magical handcuffs in Ravnica.

Not only is detain a useful mechanic, but the card draw is also something that is not overlooked by pros like me.

Wayne Reynolds drawing, you're under arrest for flagrantarmsheldouttothesides. Your arms will be locked behind you until you can hold them like a real person.

If you were thinking of adding this card to your mono-Blue control deck, then you have bigger problems than this card as control is dead right now. However, in Limited this will be a nice trick and the card draw ensures its never a dead card. Still not a fan of the name though... seems a little forced to me.

I lol'd so hard!
Also, I think this could be good. Arguably more useful than Thought Scour in W/U Delver

At the very least it's a fine cantrip that saves you a little bit of damage, but this thing really shines if you have a lot of pressure on the board. Good card for an aggressive deck.

haha, it's funny that this card is only rated around 3 stars
What is the ruling if the target is no longer legal when this resolves? For example, if the target is unsummoned before this resolves? Do you still draw a card?

Gives you an extra turn as well as an extra card with which to find an answer for that big fatty. Love it.

Whenever I see this, I always think it's weak, but when it gets played, I always see it detaining some 8/8 or 5/5 with trample or something like that.
However, outside of limited, it isn't that good. Your opponent must have a creature out, no matter what.

3.5/5. Solid pick in limited for answers to threats and generates card advantage.

@yesnomu hahahahaha i checked out those cards and it's so true. Guess it pays to pay attention to the artists!

Name aside, the art is indeed very Azorius, mess up your opponent's strategy, and replaces itself.
I like it. Just stops aggro decks in their tracks long enough to gain an edge.
