About Martial Law
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.
