Unblockble detainer is pretty good at 4 in limited.

Ok in limited, crappy everywhere else. A 2/1 ain't worth four mana in constructed, no matter if it detains and is unblockable or not.

Look at the art of Soulsworn Jury and you'll notice that it has rope tied around its body,where his arms are. So that's what happens when you take off the rope!

Is this the official gesture of Spirits when they want to scare the hell out of somebody? Look at Drogskol Reaver for another example.

Pros like me think that the detain ability is really going to mess up a lot of strategies very soon!

Ah the noble ascendants of the Soulsworn Jury continue their endless pursuit of justice in the spirit realm once more! What joy!

If {W}/{U} spirits becomes a thing, which it really could/should, this would be awesome. Think about it:
After having played against the Detain mechanic at the pre-release I can say its fairly legit. Don't know if it will see Constructed play but I think there is some real viability here. Mizzium Skin to protect the Captain.

Reminds me of those creepy hands that grabbed you and threw you around in Zelda: Majora's Mask

He's no Invisible Stalker, but he's pretty cool in Limited. Not very useful elsewhere. 2.5/5

3/5. A 2/1 unblockable that locks down an opponent's creature for a turn for 4. Not bad in draft, otherwise unplayable.

This can be played in a azorious/dimir deck to some effect. If for some reason you enjoy both detain and cipher, you can do both with this card.

@ThisisSakkon: Just imagine the spirit detaining a wurm ;)
