The static abilities of a detained permanent still apply. The triggered abilities of a detained permanent can still trigger.
- 2013-04-15:
If a creature is already attacking or blocking when it’s detained, it won’t be removed from combat. It will continue to attack or block.
- 2013-04-15:
If a permanent’s activated ability is on the stack when that permanent is detained, the ability will be unaffected.
- 2013-04-15:

- 2013-04-15:
When a player leaves a multiplayer game, any continuous effects with durations that last until that player’s next turn or until a specific point in that turn will last until that turn would have begun. They neither expire immediately nor last indefinitely.
