This particular card of the cycle seems quite busted btw. Imagine having just a two of these and how you could potentially soft lock the opponent out of progressing their board. Besides, repeatable bouncing is very annoying regardless of its power level.
Basically energy, but some permanents can be sacrificed for the cost instead of paying counters.

This Deputy card is a pretty solid concept though.

Oh, I missed that restriction :/
A basic brain fart.
Yeah, I currently ponder to just re-flavor the designs and use them in an energy environment.
How is bouncing your own permanents soft locking the opponent though?
It kind of looks like a proto-

Yeah, that "until your next turn" embedded within detain makes that rather questionable though not impossible.
I kinda want to change it to:
> "When ~ enters the battlefield, you may detain ~ and target creature until either leaves the battlefield."
Maybe add some flavor text about being locked into the same cell.
Sherrif's Orders could also be formatted as:

> Enchanted creature can't attack or block.
