What it does
At the beginning of combat on your turn, this creature gains banding until end of combat. (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 being blocked by a creature, you divide that creature's combat damage, not its controller, among any of the creatures it's blocking.)
Whenever this creature becomes blocked by a Wall, destroy that Wall at end of combat.
By the time Mishra was defeated, no mage was foolish enough to rely heavily on walls.

Where it came from
The Battering Ram card was released in 1996 as part of the Rivals Quick Start Set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This set was specifically designed as an introductory product to help new players learn the mechanics of the game through pre-constructed decks, providing a simplified entry point into the complex world of Dominaria and the broader multiverse of the game.
The card's artwork was provided by Jeff A. Menges, one of the original artists involved in the inception of Magic: The Gathering. His style often focused on a gritty, classic fantasy aesthetic that defined the visual language of the game's early years. The card itself, a common-rarity artifact creature, was designed to emphasize the theme of siege warfare, reflecting the game's foundational emphasis on strategic combat and creature interaction.
