What is Banding in MTG?
Banding is a classic MTG ability that lets any number of creatures with banding (and up to one without) attack or block together as a single unit. When blocking with banding, you get to decide how the attacking creature's damage is assigned, not the attacker. This can really turn the tide of battle by strategically minimizing damage to your creatures!

In simple terms, think of banding as the ultimate teamwork ability in Magic The Gathering. Creatures band together, sharing the glory and the risk. It's like they're holding hands to face danger together. But remember, it's an old ability, so newer players might not encounter it much.
Used banding once in a commander game. It's like a puzzle, figuring out the best way to distribute damage. Really threw my opponent for a loop. Totally underrated ability.
Honestly, banding is confusing and not really worth the hassle. Better to focus on abilities from newer sets.
