Gameplay

Instant

Create a 1/1 white Knight creature token with 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.)

"May they speed to their task, for the skyknights alone cannot hold Kjeldor safe." —Arna Kennerüd, skycaptain
