Provenance

Where it came from

Arrest was originally printed in the Mercadian Masques expansion in 1999, designed as a flavor-rich enchantment meant to reflect the restrictive, law-abiding nature of white-aligned magic. The card functions as a classic removal spell, mechanically pinning a creature down to represent legal or magical incarceration. The artwork by Matthew D. Wilson captures this theme with a stark, illustrative style that emphasizes the containment aspect of the spell, setting a template for similar white aura enchantments in future sets.

The version from Modern Masters 2015, numbered 9 in the set, served as a reprint intended to support the Limited environment of that compilation, which focused heavily on artifact and enchantment synergies. This release updated the card frame to the modern layout while retaining its core function as a utility piece for the draft format. It is well-regarded among players for its simple, functional design that has remained a staple of the color pie throughout the game's history.
