Lassoed by the Law
Lassoed by the Law is a pragmatic white enchantment that locks down a threat and leaves you with a Mercenary on the board. When it enters the battlefield it exiles a target nonland permanent an opponent controls until Lassoed by the Law leaves the battlefield, which offers a reversible removal option that pairs well with flicker and blink effects. The same trigger creates a 1/1 red Mercenary creature token that carries a tap ability to push a creature for one power for the turn, useful for finishing trades or pushing damage through in tight spots.
From a deck building view this card reads as flexible control with tempo upside. It buys time against large threats without permanently losing interaction and it gives a small repeatable reach via the Mercenary token. In multiplayer it can temporarily neutralize a key permanent while leaving room for synergy with enter the battlefield loops. Practical, efficient and tuned to an Outlaws of Thunder Junction metagame that favors clever answers and incremental advantage.
