Rulings
  • WotCSep 25, 2006

    Detainment Spell prevents mana abilities of the enchanted creature from being activated.

  • WotCSep 25, 2006

    Morph isn't an activated ability, so Detainment Spell doesn't prevent face-down creatures from being able to turn face up.

  • WotCSep 25, 2006

    Responding to a creature's activated ability being activated by moving Detainment Spell onto that creature won't affect the ability that was just activated.
