Ok so the basics of it is that I bought a legacy fun pack. Which basically includes a random arrangement of legacy help cards. I found a treasure trove of cards and a big question mark for others. Many of the cards include the ability "banding" and since I had so many of them (talking 20-40 creatures with it and cards to support it), can someone please tell me..... WHAT THE HELL IS BANDING?????

Poof

Wow banding possibly the worst ability ever created

What does it do? I'm not making the deck to be competitive but just because I have so many cards with it. Just for 💩 and giggles. So If it's the worst ability ever, what is it? Lmao.

Don't bother...
Agreed.  It'll honestly make you dumber having learned it.

Nah it's not that bad. Just super confusing to understand the mechanics of it all.

Have a read in the rules section of this app about banding. By then someone might be able to answer some of the more intricate questions about it.

Enjoy. (possibly pull out pen and paper, lol)

The oversimplified version is that attackers in a band act and must be blocked as one creature, and both attackers and blockers in a band decide where the opposing combat damage is assigned instead of your opponent deciding how to assign damage.  (I think.)

Part of the hard part is determining which groups can enter into a band.  All creatures with banding can band plus one non-band guy.  "Bands with other ____" can only band with other creatures that ALSO say "Bands with other _____". 

See {Master of the Hunt} if you don't feel like you're confused enough yet.

Better yet, just burn any card with Banding on it.  Make the world a better place.

Don't do it man. Just forget about banding. Banding doesn't want you. Banding doesn't need you. Banding, just doesn't love you. Forget about banding, let banding go. Get on with your life.

Banding basically is an ability that does nothing, yet too much, and is secretly plotting to destroy the game of magic. I've seen cards with banding spontaneously combust, burning whole decks filled with precious cards. Forgot banding, or it will be the death of you 😖 :D lol

Do it. Forcing your opponent to rage quit,Is an acceptable win condition in my play group, and  is still a victory for you.

I love this app. It can really make a crappy day turn around.
