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.)
"My favorite part of getting into the infantry was getting out again."— Gerrard of the *Weatherlight*

Where it came from
Benalish Infantry was first introduced in the 1996 Magic: The Gathering expansion set Alliances, intended to bolster the white color identity with efficient, low-cost creatures. The card features a classic high-fantasy aesthetic typical of the mid-1990s, with illustrations by Anson Maddocks. Its design focuses on the 'flanking' mechanic, which was introduced in the same set to represent the tactical advantage of mounted or disciplined soldiers maneuvering against enemy lines.
The version included in 'The List' is a reprint curation by Wizards of the Coast, designed to bring older, nostalgic cards back into current circulation within Set Boosters. By including iconic or structurally significant cards from the game's long history, the publisher allows newer players to experience early-game staples while preserving the visual identity established by the original artists. The card remains a straightforward example of early creature design, prioritizing board presence and basic combat interaction.
