She works very well as a Commander for a soldier tribal deck because, unfortunately, Odric, Master Tactician just doesn't. Mono-white commanders aside from Isamaru, Hound of Konda can't quite seem to cut the mustard in the format.

Hmm...
Detain decks are certainly annoying to play against,
But I'd rather face one of those than play against a token deck that floods the board with forty-bazillion tokens and you can't hope to block them all.
That being said, the "opponents control" bit is fairly interesting, and not many things have protection from blue, but this is white too.
Anyone know what the ruling would be?

@Vastator: No targets are chosen. Hexproof, Shroud, Protection from white/blue/creatures/everything, Leyline of Sanctity. None help. Torpor Orb will neuter her and any deck using her though.
Wow, what a creature for control. The ETB effect is amazing, even without abuse, it can open up the way for a killing strike, but the 4/4 body and protection from red feel so good too. A very solid, very legendary feeling creature. Pure Azorius.
Story wise, Lavinia was an Azorius arrester on the tail of Jace Beleran. She was blocked by the Azorius Hierarchy, but eventually got on his tail and became the maze runner for Azorius due to the inside knowledge she possessed. She even got Jace to face trial, though he got away with community service. (rich people, amirite?) Fittingly she can detain Jace, Architect of Thought (And less relevant but more useful, Jace, the Mind Sculptor)

I love it when my opponents realize that all their tokens have 0 converted mana cost...
