Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Detained by Legionnaires is white’s one-mana Pacifism that reads like disciplined legionaries hauling a threat out of the fight rather than killing it. It best supports tempo and control plans by cheaply neutralizing a key attacker or blocker so you can develop your board, protect a planeswalker, or set up a sweeper. Practical synergy: pair it with board wipes (Wrath of God/Day of Judgment) to stall and then clear, or with blink/flicker effects to re-use aura-drop tempo in blue-white blink shells. Deckbuilding tip: run multiple copies and back them up with targeted removal such as Swords to Plowshares to convert the stall into a permanent answer, and include sideboard tech versus enchantment hate (artifact/enchantment removal or protection). Because it’s an Aura, plan for common answers, but otherwise it’s an efficient, flexible way to buy time against a single large or pivotal creature.
