Artifact Creature — Juggernaut · 5/5 · Rare · Foreign Black Border · #266

Banding (Any creatures with banding, and up to one without, can attack in a band. Bands are blocked as a group. If any creatures with banding you control are blocking or being blocked by a creature, you divide that creature's combat damage, not its controller, among any of the creatures it's being blocked by or is blocking.)

At the beginning of your upkeep, this creature deals 3 damage to you unless you discard a card. If it deals damage to you this way, tap it.

  1. 4 October 2004You may choose to take damage or to discard. You can't avoid taking damage if you have no cards to discard.
  2. 1 October 2008Creatures in the same band must all attack the same player or planeswalker.
  3. 1 October 2008If a creature with banding attacks, it can team up with any number of other attacking creatures with banding (and up to one nonbanding creature) and attack as a unit called a "band." The band can be blocked by any creature that could block a single creature in the band. Blocking any creature in a band blocks the entire band. If a creature with banding is blocked, the attacking player chooses how the blockers' damage is assigned.
  4. 1 October 2008A maximum of one nonbanding creature can join an attacking band no matter how many creatures with banding are in it.
  5. 1 October 2009If a creature in combat has banding, its controller assigns damage for creatures blocking or blocked by it.
