@Claov: Banding basically allows you to band a group of creatures, attack, and divy up all damage dealt by blockers however you choose among your attacking band. If your blocking with a band, you choose how the damage is spread among the blocking creatures, not the attacker.

It's not a bad ability, but it's more useful as an attack ability as opposed to defense... Makes this card useless.

When banding was in cards, everybody knew how it worked. It was WoTC's propaganda that got people thinking they didn't know how it worked.

At least when Revised was out because they came with rules book. I think that it was when WoTC decided to abandon the rulesbook that people who knew not how banding works started to emerge. But that wasn't a cause it was a result.

Walls do not need banding, although the +1/+0 bonus is nice, although overall this card is junk...

Banding on walls can be useful. When blocking a single attacker with multiple blockers, if only one of those creatures have banding, defending player gets to distribute the combat damage from the attacker. You can thus combine your creatures to kill a large attacker and send most of the damage onto the wall, having all of your creatures survive. This card can thus be helpful in setting up a creature-defense that is very hard to break through. It would have to be in a specific wall-heavy defensive deck, and such a deck would not be terribly effective. And if you ever won a game with it, that game would be slow and painful for your opponent. Not a great card, but the flavour is nice: all your non-wall creatures sit safely behind walls in their Fortified Area.
