| − | Any number of attacking creatures with banding can join together with up to one attacking creature without banding; the defending player must either block the entire band or allow it to be unblocked. If a blocking creature can block any one creature in the band, it can block the entire band. |
||
| − | |||
| − | When blocking, if at least one creature blocking an attacker has banding, then the defending player may choose how the creature blocked by the creature(s) with banding assigns combat damage. This is a change from the normal rule in which the attacking player always chooses how his attacking creatures assign combat damage. |

| − | Banding was first printed in [[Alpha (set)|Alpha]]. The last tournament-legal set in which it appears is [[Weatherlight (set)|Weatherlight]]. The most recent card to be printed with banding is <c>Greater Morphling</c> in [[Unhinged (set)|Unhinged]]. The ability has been effectively abandoned by designers due to its relatively complex wording compared to other keyword abilities. |

| − | *502.10a Banding is a static ability that modifies the rules for declaring attackers and assigning combat damage. |
||
| − | |||
| − | *502.10b As a player declares attackers, he or she may declare that any number of those creatures with banding, and up to one of those creatures without banding, are all in a “band.” (Defending players can’t declare bands but may use banding in a different way; see rule 502.10h.) |

| − | *502.10c 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. |

| − | |||
| − | *502.10d Once an attacking band has been announced, it lasts for the rest of combat, even if something later removes the banding ability from one or more creatures. However, creatures in a band that are removed from combat are also removed from the band. |

| − | |||
| − | *502.10e 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. |
||
| − | **Example: A player attacks with a band consisting of a creature with flying and a creature with swampwalk. The defending player, who controls a Swamp, can block the flying creature if able. If he or she does, then the creature with swampwalk will also become blocked by the blocking creature(s). |
||
| − | |||
| − | *502.10f Banding doesn’t cause attacking creatures to share abilities, nor does it remove any abilities. The attacking creatures in a band are separate permanents. |
||
| − | |||
| − | *502.10g If one member of a band would become blocked due to an effect, the entire band becomes blocked. |
||
| − | |||
| − | *502.10h A player who controls an attacking creature with banding chooses how combat damage is assigned by creatures blocking that creature. A player who controls a blocking creature with banding chooses how combat damage is assigned by creatures it blocks. If the creature had banding when it attacked or blocked but the ability was removed before the combat damage step, damage is assigned normally. |

| − | A variant of banding, '''Bands with Other''' restricts banding to working with other creatures of a given quality. The only tournament-legal cards with this variant are in the [[Legends (set)|Legends]] set, however <c>Old Fogey</c> in Unhinged is the most recent card printed with it. |

| − | *502.11. Bands with Other |
||
| − | **502.11a 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. |
||
| − | **502.11b An attacking creature with “bands with other [creature type]” can form an attacking band with other creatures that have the same “bands with other [creature type]” ability. Creatures with banding can also join this band, but creatures without banding can’t. The creatures in this band don’t have to have the creature type specified in the “bands with other [creature type]” ability. Blocking this band follows the same general rules as for banding. |

| − | **502.11c If an attacking creature is blocked by at least two creatures with the same “bands with other [creature type]” ability, the defending player chooses how the attacking creature’s damage is assigned. Similarly, if a blocking creature blocks at least two attacking creatures with the same “bands with other [creature type]” ability, the attacking player chooses how the blocking creature’s damage is assigned. |

I don't think the list of keyword abilities is going to be a problem; I plan to have the rest of them in by the end of the day. I'm basically just going down the CompRules and doing them in order. --Binary 10:10, 14 April 2006 (CDT)
