Azorius Arrester 1W
When Azorius Arrester enters the battlefield, detain target creature an opponent controls.
2/1
Not that long ago many cubes were running Kami and the Unicorn, now there are better options available. Arrester is a card that doesn't gain value if played on turn which is a sign that he probably won't be making it into tight lists. An ability like this is something I have been wishing for, for cube but I think it needs to be on a more expensive creature with a bigger body to be worthwhile. Thoughts?
I think this card is easy to underestimate. It has no lifelink, flying, shadow or first strike, but detain will help your assault for sure. This gets damage trhougfh and adds a body to charge next turn.
I am guessing somewhere around 550-650 if you like the card.
With blink effects, these detain guys get better. Combo with Venser! The Azorius Justicar hits 2 targets, seems better than seasoned marshall at the same cost/body size. Maybe worth it in an uncommon/common cube. I'm going to leave the effect out of my 600 cube however.
I like it, but with each of my colors shrinking by 2-3 cards I don't think I'm going to have room. If Mistral Chargers survives the reconfiguration (doubtful), I'd try this guy in that spot.

I feel compelled to repeat everything I hear
It's probably not good enough for 360 or 450, but 500s and up might be able to use him effectively.

I'm always open to suggestions on how to improve my cube. Take a look and ask a question, or give a constructive critique whenever you can.

I think I try him over Loyal Cathar, to bring down the amount of WW creatures in my cube.
