Benalish Hero
Creature — Human Soldier
Text
Banding (Any creatures with banding, and up to one without, can attack in a band. Bands are blocked as a group. If any creatures with banding you control are blocking or being blocked by a creature, you divide that creature's combat damage, not its controller, among any of the creatures it's being blocked by or is blocking.)
Benalia has a complex caste system that changes with the lunar year. No matter what the season, the only caste that cannot be attained by either heredity or money is that of the hero.

If a creature with banding attacks, it can team up with any number of other attacking creatures with banding (and up to one nonbanding creature) and attack as a unit called a "band." The band can be blocked by any creature that could block a single creature in the band. Blocking any creature in a band blocks the entire band. If a creature with banding is blocked, the attacking player chooses how the blockers' damage is assigned.
10/01/2008A maximum of one nonbanding creature can join an attacking band no matter how many creatures with banding are in it.
10/01/2008Creatures in the same band must all attack the same player or planeswalker.
10/01/2008If a creature in combat has banding, its controller assigns damage for creatures blocking or blocked by it.
