Martial Law, Enchantment, designed by Tyler Jacobson first released in May, 2020 in the set Return to Ravnica.
This card, Martial Law, would be a great addition to a control deck in Magic: the Gathering, especially in a white-based deck that focuses on stalling the opponent's creatures and controlling the board. While Martial Law can be effective in detaining a target creature each turn, there are other enchantments like Detention Sphere that offer more versatile removal options. However, Martial Law could still see play in certain metagames where detaining a specific creature consistently is crucial for the deck's strategy.

Activated abilities include a colon and are written in the form “[cost]: [effect].” No one can activate any activated abilities, including mana abilities, of a detained permanent.

If a creature is already attacking or blocking when it’s detained, it won’t be removed from combat. It will continue to attack or block.

If a noncreature permanent is detained and later turns into a creature, it won’t be able to attack or block.
