Pokemon kid: Derpy derp, I'm too thtoopid to figgur out banding!
Hasbro: That's OK, kid. Here, we'll eliminate banding, and mana burn too while we're at it.
Stay tuned for the next exciting chapter in the Saga of the $$$ Ever Changing $$$ game of Magic, where they further simplify the game by eliminating the upkeep phase!

Banding is a cool ability which appreciates both technique and skill. All of you guys complaining about banding being so confusing and worthless should go play Candy Land instead of Magic.

They should have errated 'band with others' to just banding, instead of getting rid of banding. Now they've introduced banding creatures onto the Online community, which to me means that we still might see banding coming back.

The problem with banding wasn't that it was a weak mechanic. It was just too much of a rules headache. It's illogical, because up to one creature without banding may be included in a band, except when it's "bands with other (creature type)," for example "bands with other Legends" that was given by the nonbasic lands in Legends (Seafarer's Quay etc). Let's not even talk about the way combat damage was assigned to banded creatures, banding while blocking, etc. Ugh. The Magic rules were in need of streamlining or else it would have gone the way of Star Wars CCG, so banding had to be eliminated.

Play this in any creature-based deck. Activate it. Watch as your opponents concede rather than figure out what the heck it does.

No matter how many times I examine it, the "Banding" and "Bands with others" abilities are so complex I don't even have it in me to use these cards, even if there extremely effective when played right. I'm glad those mechanics are gone for good.
