As Prohibition enters the battlefield, name a nonland card.
Whenever the named card is cast, it is countered and returned to its controller's hand.
Was trying to make an unintuitive Nevermore , but this actually is weaker in some sense: Storm count.
So...counts or not?

You should probably compare the actual wordings between that card and Dissipate; they're pretty different. If it were worded like Dissipate I agree it would work.

I apparently forgot the "Until end of turn" clause thanks to getting confused by my own creation -- but yes, there are many ways to word lots of effects in a convoluted manner. As you alluded to before, most of those ways were probably explored at one point between Alpha and Homelands.

You should probably compare the actual wordings between that card and Dissipate; they're pretty different. If it were worded like Dissipate I agree it would work.
Relevant rule :
614.15. Some replacement effects are not continuous effects. Rather, they are an effect of a resolving spell or ability that replace part or all of that spell or ability's own effect(s). Such effects are called self-replacement effects. When applying replacement effects to an event, self-replacement effects are applied before other replacement effects.
It seems you're right

I was aware that the functionality of some of my designs was different enough that they might be situationally better. That's fine, but I had assumed that the goal of this thread was to take a fairly simple effect and make it as needlessly wordy as possible.

Btw, I don't quite get your first card. Are the "Detain" permanent? And I don't think the second trigger can copy what it creates with the first trigger. (You probably have to choose the target when it's on the stack) EDIT: oh i think you edited it. Still the second ability will probably won't work. You might as well just put "repeat this process once". (And if you already cast another one of those early, to my understanding, your copy goes through shroud/hexproof)
