About Errand of Duty

Errand of Duty, Instant, designed by Julie Baroh first released in Jun, 1996 in the set Alliances and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 1.77.

A deck focused on creating a wide board presence and utilizing banding mechanics would benefit from including Errand of Duty, as it provides a cheap way to generate a creature with banding that can enhance combat strategies. While there may be more powerful cards available, such as those with additional abilities or higher power/toughness ratios, Errand of Duty could still see play in a deck looking to leverage banding synergies effectively.

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.
