About Benalish Infantry

Benalish Infantry, Creature — human soldier, designed by Dan Frazier first released in Jun, 1997 in the set Weatherlight and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.55.

A deck focused on creating a strong offensive or defensive band of creatures would benefit from including Benalish Infantry due to its banding ability, allowing for strategic combat maneuvers. However, in the current Magic: The Gathering meta, there are more efficient and powerful cards available for similar mana costs, such as Knight of the White Orchid or Thalia, Guardian of Thraben, making Benalish Infantry 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.
