Gameplay

Instant

Target creature gains banding until end of turn. (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 a player controls are blocking or being blocked by a creature, that player divides that creature's combat damage, not its controller, among any of the creatures it's being blocked by or is blocking.) Draw a card at the beginning of the next turn's upkeep.

"I have been a warrior for over four hundred years, and yet each generation of Kjeldorans teaches me new tricks. There can be no better allies." —Taaveti of Kelsinko, Elvish Hunter

Context

This printing is one of 2 catalogued treatments from ICE — the lineup includes Nonfoil alongside the standard finish. Across our catalog the Rarix library tracks every variant in the same family so collectors can compare price, scarcity and demand inside a single lineage.

Card #25 of *Ice Age*, the set that shipped alongside the June 1995 Ice Age release.

Card type: Instant, color identity white, printed at rare. Rares occupy the bottom-of-pack rare slot in standard boosters. Mana cost: {1}{W} (2 converted).

Legal in Legacy, Vintage, and Commander. This printing is on Wizards of the Coast's Reserved List — Wizards has committed never to reprint cards on that list, which underwrites a structural scarcity floor on every surviving copy.

EDHrec ranks this card #22,943 in Commander, putting it in the fringe-play tier of the format's playable pool.
