About Azorius Arrester

Azorius Arrester, Creature — human soldier, designed by Wayne Reynolds first released in Oct, 2012 in the set Return to Ravnica and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.09.

The Azorius Arrester would be beneficial in a control or tempo deck that aims to slow down the opponent's creatures and disrupt their game plan. While it can be a useful tool for stalling aggressive strategies, there are potentially better options available, such as Deputy of Detention or Reflector Mage, which offer more versatile detainment effects. However, Azorius Arrester could still see play in budget or thematic decks looking for a simple detainment effect.
