Dude, if you get support for this, I will make it. I already have a fun banding deck. Not so successful. But fun none the less. I will bump it in casual.

If you band {Fog Bank} with 1 or more creatures you will get this result. (Assuming you only do this to block).

As the Bands controller you can place all damage dealt to the Band by opposing creature onto FB, thus negating it. Since FB would not actually contribute damage (0 attack) then the blocked creature would take damage as normal from the rest of the Band.

I used to pull a similar stunt with {Uncle Istavan} or {Wall of Shadows}.

Banding with a {Phytohydra} would be funny.

Does banding bypass "protection from"?  Example. Green creature with banding and a pro green creature. Can they band together?

It has to have some part of the band be a legal blocker (if defending) or legal attacker (if on offense). In your example the blocking band can have a green creature in it but it will simply deal no damage (to the total) but it does contribute to the overall defense total.
