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.)
At the beginning of your upkeep, this creature deals 3 damage to you unless you discard a card. If it deals damage to you this way, tap it.

Where it came from
Mishra's War Machine was introduced to the Magic: The Gathering card game in the Antiquities expansion in 1994, later appearing in the 1994 Revised Edition. The card depicts the industrial, artifact-heavy lore of the Brothers' War, a central conflict in the game's early mythology that focused on the mechanical creations of the artificer Mishra. Mechanically, the card reflects the high-risk, high-reward design philosophy prevalent in early sets, requiring the player to discard cards to sustain its power.
The artwork was illustrated by Christopher Rush, one of the most prolific and iconic artists in the history of the game. Rush utilized a gritty, detailed style that emphasized the metallic and imposing nature of Mishra's constructs. At the time of its release, the card was received as a niche utility piece for artifact-themed decks, celebrated more for its atmospheric contribution to the game's evolving narrative than for its competitive efficiency.
