Annoying to play against when using scavenge or unleash decks. Curse of Death's Hold keeps it off the battlefield, but be sure to have a Golgari Charm handy to also get rid of Oblivion Rings the opponent will cast on your curse.

Azorious decks are a natural counter to aggro, but I think they will also shine at aggro themselves when combined with Boros. Don't underestimate Detain.

A decent body with a decent ability. For one blue mana more, you can pick up her good friend Lyev Skykight and get a better power, flying and the ability to detain a nonland permanent. 3.5/5

A 2/1 creature for 2, he locks down a creature for a turn, and he's a common. White weenie on a power trip.

detain mechanic is actually pretty decent (for those who wonder how it would play in game)
as for arrester 3/5 - if only he was a bear :(

In the same vein as Man-o'-War, but in white and for one less CMC. Gets you another critter on the board AND potentially shuts down someone's keystone creature for a while. What's not to like?

I'm not going to make special room for it, but in the right white deck I'd run it, especially in Limited.

With Lightning Mauler and Boros Elite, detain their best blocker to help get some Battalion action going?

Love that goblin art.

Are they on the opposite side of the bridge shown in Axebane Stag?

@ lorendorky: Arresting a poor goblin just for standing on a street is awful...
What does this card tells you..?
All cops are bastards..
