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 as part of the Rivals Quick Start Set, a product designed to introduce new players to the mechanics of the Rivals collectible card game. Produced during the game's initial launch period, the card was intended to serve as a fundamental, low-complexity asset for deck construction, emphasizing the game's focus on combat-oriented gameplay and direct board interaction.
The design of the card reflects the aesthetic standards of the era, utilizing classic fantasy illustrative styles intended to provide immediate visual clarity to the player. As a common card within the set, it was widely distributed to ensure that newcomers had access to essential tactical options, and it was received primarily as a reliable tool for early-game strategies rather than as a centerpiece for competitive play.
