Deck discussion for detain: they never do anything

As much as I dislike blue, I've been itching to make some Azorius-style detain deck, and this really puts my gears in motion :) However, you would do well to add some counter spells, another one of blue's trademark abilities, in addition to all the detain . I have no idea whether the Spheres will work, though I've been tempted to make an enchantment deck to see just that; how about Arrest? Maybe get rid of Tricks of the Trade, since many of your creatures have evasion in addition to all your detain effects. Add 2-3 lands to make this more stable, especially seeing as you don't lean on draw (unusual for blue?).

thanks and i will try playtesting with the counter spells and the arrests in stead of tricks of the trade. i like to add i have won many times because the spheres stack and not many decks can deal with paying more than 6 per creature to attack.

Nice deck! I would make some minor changes, specially on the lands. You should definitely remove those gates and add hallowed fountains and glacial fortresses. Having the Soulsworns and the Lyevs I don't see the point of the tricks of the trade. I would also remove 1 sphere of safety, but that's personal. Finally, you don't seem to have a deck based on the Ezor Elecutors, so having a single copy is not funtional to what I see.
I would add some Supreme Veredicts (for control decks when things go out of control it is nice to have some sort of reset), +1 Lyev, and also consider using the Azourius charms.

If you like you could check my own Azourius deck based on detention also, comments appreciated ^^
