About Dire Wolves
Dire Wolves, Creature — wolf, designed by Ron Spencer first released in Jun, 1995 in the set Ice Age. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.49.
Dire Wolves can be a valuable addition to a green-white aggro deck that aims to overwhelm opponents with multiple creatures attacking together, utilizing the banding ability to control combat situations effectively. However, in the current Magic: The Gathering meta, there are more efficient cards available for similar mana costs that offer stronger abilities or synergies, such as Fleecemane Lion or Llanowar Elves, making Dire Wolves less likely to see play in competitive decks.
Rules
10/01/08
Creatures in the same band must all attack the same player or planeswalker.
10/01/08
If 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.
