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.)
As long as this creature is attacking, prevent all damage Deserts would deal to this creature and to creatures banded with this creature.
Everyone knew Walid was a pious man, for he had been blessed with many sons, many jewels, and a great many Camels.

Where it came from
The Camel card was released as part of Arabian Nights in 1993, which holds the distinction of being the first expansion set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Richard Garfield and published by Wizards of the Coast, this set drew heavy thematic inspiration from Middle Eastern folklore and the tales of One Thousand and One Nights. The set was created to add variety to the nascent game, introducing mechanics that interacted with specific card types, such as the Camel's ability to provide protection against desert-themed cards.
The card features artwork by Jesper Myrfors, who served as the original art director for the game. Myrfors utilized a distinct, grounded aesthetic that reflected the set’s exotic narrative origins, aiming for a visual style that felt archival and folkloric. Upon release, Arabian Nights was produced in limited quantities, and the Camel became a quintessential example of early 1990s card design, where niche utility cards were crafted to build world-flavor rather than simply focusing on competitive dominance.
