I think if you place on creature force hold is better, on a mage tanglevine.

because for a Mage to waste an attack or a teleport is better then a dispel.

while for creatures they could melee attack vine anyway but they can't dispel enchantments
Being Aussie we place all our cards face down, apart from enchantments which are face up

Hmm. Good points @nitrodavid and @padawanofthegames. I'll try swapping out the 2 Force Hold I have for 2 Tanglevine and see what happens. I don't tend to use Force Hold on creatures because I run Sleep and Charm.

Also, @padawanofthegames, I run Force Ring + Psi-Orb every game since I cast a lot of Force spells. The decision to run both isn't because of Force Hold. But I see your point nonetheless. Tanglevine doesn't have an expensive upkeep cost.

I know this doesn't factor into the discussion since I am talking about pinning down a mage, but Force Hold works on flying creatures whereas Tanglevine doesn't. If we ever get a flying mage on our hands (hopefully never) Force Hold will be the better bet against them.
