Our next major milestone for our Tidbit community is 5,000 Likes. We are less than 350 Magic friends away, so please share and pass on this resource to your local TO, judges, players . . . anyone who loves this game. To celebrate this near accomplishment, for the first time in the history of the page, we are taking a fan request... CR Tidbit of the Day: Banding is a static ability that modifies the rules for combat. Bands with other is a special form of banding. If an effect causes a permanent to lose banding, the permanent loses all bands with other abilities as well. As a player declares attackers, he or she may declare that one or more attacking creatures with banding and up to one attacking creature without banding (even if it has bands with other) are all in a band. He or she may also declare that one or more attacking [quality] creatures with bands with other [quality] and any number of other attacking [quality] creatures are all in a band. A player may declare as many attacking bands as he or she wants, but each creature may be a member of only one of them. All creatures in an attacking band must attack the same player or planeswalker. Once an attacking band has been announced, it lasts for the rest of combat, even if something later removes banding or bands with other from one or more of the creatures in the band. An attacking creature thats removed from combat is also removed from the band it was in. Banding doesnt cause attacking creatures to share abilities, nor does it remove any abilities. The attacking creatures in a band are separate permanents. If an attacking creature becomes blocked by a creature, each other creature in the same band as the attacking creature becomes blocked by that same blocking creature. If one member of a band would become blocked due to an effect, the entire band becomes blocked. During the combat damage step, if an attacking creature is being blocked by a creature with banding, or by both a [quality] creature with bands with other [quality] and another [quality] creature, the defending player (rather than the active player) chooses how the attacking creatures damage is assigned. That player can divide that creatures combat damage as he or she chooses among any number of creatures blocking it. During the combat damage step, if a blocking creature is blocking a creature with banding, or both a [quality] creature with bands with other [quality] and another [quality] creature, the active player (rather than the defending player) chooses how the blocking creatures damage is assigned. That player can divide that creatures combat damage as he or she chooses among any number of creatures its blocking. Multiple instances of banding on the same creature are redundant. Multiple instances of bands with other of the same kind on the same creature are redundant. (CR 702.21)
