Deputy of Detention is worded like Banishing Light in that you can only target opposing permanents.
This is really only a minor drawback since the vast majority of the time you'll want to target an opposing permanent anyway, but it does remove some of the flexibility. To make up for this lack of flexibility of removing the "may" clause and the ability to target your own permanents, they also removed the "not named [this card]" clause, which means you can in fact exile an opposing Deputy of Detention. This is a worthwhile tradeoff because it means you can not only exile an opposing Deputy of Detention , but if they have multiples you get to exile all of them to get all your stuff back!
Since it only exiles opposing permanents, it will only exile all opposing copies of Deputy of Detention , leaving your copies still on the battlefield continuing to exile all the opponent's stuff.
This also avoids the infinite loop where the game cannot proceed. It used to and probably still does crash Magic Online when Oblivion Ring s were involved in such a loop. The loop is where I use Oblivion Ring to exile your Oblivion Ring , which causes an exiled Oblivion Ring to return to the battlefield, which exiles the Oblivion Ring I just played, which causes the Oblivion Ring under it to return, which then exiles the Oblivion Ring that was just returned, which causes the previous Oblivion Ring to return, which causes that Oblivion Ring to be exiled, which causes the other Oblivion Ring to be returned, ad infinitum.
When the Oblivion Ring s involved are the only permanents on the battlefield, the game could not proceed and it would start over or end in a stalemate. Deputy of Detention fortunately is worded in such a way where that would not be the case and the loop is avoided. Given that a big appeal of control decks is rendering opposing removal spells useless, I don't think they will be in the market for Deputy of Detention.
If it's one of few creatures in your deck, it will have a huge target on its back and the opponent will happily deploy one of the useless removal spells that have been rotting in their hand all game on it as soon as it is played. In post-board games I could see control decks potentially wanting to board these in because the creature heavy decks against which Deputy of Detention shines brightest typically only play a handful of removal spells and can therefore usually afford to sideboard out all their removal spells in favor of better anti-control cards.
Against a post-board configuration of a heavy creature deck against a control deck i. But control decks almost certainly would not want this card in their main deck. Aggressive decks, on the other hand, are very much in the business of wanting this type of card. It is a threat that can be pumped up by anthem affects while also serving as a quite cost-efficient and versatile removal spell. Skip to content. Create your account Lost password? First name.
