"Find me cards equivalent to: Martial Law"

Equivalent cards to Martial Law (White, Enchantment, repeatable creature lockdown) include:

  • Prison Term — White Enchantment, can move to new creature every time opponent plays a relevant creature.
  • Detention Sphere — White/Blue Enchantment, exiles target nonland permanent and others with same name.
  • Oblivion Ring — White Enchantment, exiles target nonland permanent until it leaves play.


Reason: All are white enchantments that repeatedly or persistently deal with opposing creatures. Martial Law is unique for repeatable detain, but these offer similar permanent control.

    Rules

  • Although the target of the "enters" ability must not be a land, lands with the same name as that permanent will be exiled.
  • If Detention Sphere leaves the battlefield before its "enters" ability has resolved, its leaves-the-battlefield ability will trigger and do nothing. Then the "enters" ability will resolve and exile the targeted nonland permanent and other permanents with that name indefinitely.
  • If the target nonland permanent is an illegal target when the "enters" ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. No permanents will be exiled, including those with the same name as the target.
  • The "enters" ability has only one target. The other permanents with that name aren't targeted. For example, a permanent with protection from white will be exiled if it has the same name as the target nonland permanent.

    Detain

    Rules

  • 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.
  • If a permanent’s activated ability is on the stack when that permanent is detained, the ability will be unaffected.
  • The static abilities of a detained permanent still apply. The triggered abilities of a detained permanent can still trigger.
  • When a player leaves a multiplayer game, any continuous effects with durations that last until that player’s next turn or until a specific point in that turn will last until that turn would have begun. They neither expire immediately nor last indefinitely.

    Rules

  • If Oblivion Ring leaves the battlefield before its first ability has resolved, its second ability will trigger and do nothing. Then its first ability will resolve and exile the targeted nonland permanent forever.
  • If there are no nonland permanents on the battlefield other than an Oblivion Ring, and the card it exiled was another Oblivion Ring, casting a third Oblivion Ring will result in an involuntary infinite loop that will end the game in a draw (unless someone chooses to break it by putting another nonland permanent onto the battlefield or destroying one of the Oblivion Rings, for example).
  • If the exiled card is an Aura, that card’s owner chooses what it will enchant as it comes back onto the battlefield. An Aura put onto the battlefield this way doesn’t target anything, but the Aura’s enchant ability restricts what it can be attached to. If the Aura can’t legally be attached to anything, it remains exiled forever.
  • Auras attached to the exiled permanent will be put into their owners’ graveyards. Equipment attached to the exiled permanent will become unattached and remain on the battlefield. Any counters on the exiled permanent will cease to exist.
