What it does

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.)

Benalia has a complex caste system that changes with the lunar year. No matter what the season, the only caste that cannot be attained by either heredity or money is that of the hero.

Provenance

Where it came from

The Benalish Hero was first printed for the International Collectors' Edition (ICE) in 1993, a boxed set produced by Wizards of the Coast to showcase the game's initial card offerings. This specific iteration was designed as a non-tournament-legal promotional item for the international market, intended to provide players with a complete set of the Alpha and Beta card lists without the inherent scarcity or condition variables of the original printings.

The card features the original illustration by Dan Frazier, who established much of the early fantasy aesthetic for the game. Known for his distinct approach to character portraiture, Frazier's depiction of the Benalish Hero remains a quintessential example of early 1990s trading card art, emphasizing the high-fantasy knightly archetype that helped define the visual language of the franchise during its infancy.
