Banding was an incredibly powerful and underrated creature keyword in Magic that ended up a bit dysergic together with evasion abilities on cards like Mesa Pegasus. If Mesa Pegasus and Benalish Hero attack in a band, the flying becomes pointless. (Flying + Banding still pretty good on blocks though.) Because if the enemy can trip up the Hero on the ground with a Wall of Brambles or something, well, RIP the pegasus too.
Similarly, the Capital can attack all of us through one of us. That’s why intersectional solidarity is scary. No social movement has successfully overcome its backlash. Labor rights, reproductive rights, BIPOC rights and queer rights are all down.
But if Mesa Pegasus and Hurloon Minotaur join up (the Hero can come along too), then it’s bye-bye Brambles. The Minotaur would’ve just bounced with the Wall of Brambles normally but the Pegasus helps it go over the top, and the Brambles can’t take down a band that has a three-toughness minotaur (or even Dire Wolves with [Grizzly Bears][GB] to both take on one damage each).
Everyone on the banding side come through unscathed, doing a better job than they could alone. That’s why intersectional solidarity is the solution. ¡Les puebles unides jamás serán vencides!
