Deck discussion for You're Under Arrest!

Very cool and I like the price for the deck! Are you trying to keep it budget?

I'd recommend working in some blinking like Cloudshift or Conjurer's Closet since some of your creatures benefit from the ETB effects.

I would, but the deck is already jammed full with cards. Detain is also like a mini arrest.

Alright, I understand your numberings of each card, but it strikes me as inconsistent. To make it more consistent and make sure you have only the best cards, here's what I would cut:

Tower Drake - 2/1 flyer for 2 just isn't very good, and the ability doesn't seem like it would be useful very often.
New-Prahv Guildmage - Most creatures have evasion of some sorts anyway and 5 mana is way too expensive for a detain
Pacifism - Just swap in oblivion ring. One mana more but way better
Smite - If you run 4 oblivion rings you don't need this
Angelic Edict - Same as smite
Hidden Strings - Seems redundant with hands of binding, and I think hands is better
Uncovered Clues - Use Augur of Bolas instead and run 4. Trust me.
Lyev Decree - Just seems redundant with all the other detain effects. I'd much rather play a lyev skynight early game.

Cards that absolutely SHOULD NOT be left out of any blue/white standard control deck.

Supreme Verdict - Especially for a deck that's not very creature-based, supreme verdict can erase everything that agro decks have built up and leave your strategy completely in tact.

Render Silent - Every control deck needs counterspells. This one just happens to be the best in standard.

Aetherling - This card is the best control finisher in standard without a doubt.

Sphinx's Revelation - This card is pricey, but it's pricey for a reason. I strongly recommend it.

Jace, Architect of Thought - Also pricey, but not as bad. You have the creatures here to defend him, which a lot of control decks don't.

Overall, nice deck so far. I'll keep checking back for updates.

Supreme Verdict is, in a word, HOLYCRAPGOODANDEXTREMELYEXPENSIVE, could you recommend a card that does not cost as much? Do you think I could get nearly the same use from something like Divine Verdict?
