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.
wotc15 Apr 2013
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.
wotc15 Apr 2013
If a noncreature permanent is detained and later turns into a creature, it won’t be able to attack or block.
wotc15 Apr 2013
