What it does
First strike; 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 the cavalry bore down, we faced them with swords drawn and pikes hidden in the grass at our feet. 'Don't lift your pikes 'til I give the word,' I said." —Maeveen O'Donagh, Memoirs of a Soldier

Where it came from
Pikemen was released in 1994 as part of The Dark, the fourth expansion set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Wizards of the Coast, the set was designed to explore a darker, more gothic fantasy aesthetic than the game's initial offerings. The card's existence reflects the early era of the game when mechanics and world-building were still rapidly evolving to create distinct flavor profiles for different expansion releases.
The card was illustrated by Quinton Hoover, a prolific artist whose work defined much of the early visual identity of the game. Hoover utilized his characteristic soft, illustrative style to depict a group of soldiers, aiming to convey the utilitarian and militaristic nature of the unit within the game’s medieval-inspired setting. While not a centerpiece of competitive play, Pikemen remains a notable artifact for collectors interested in the illustrative history of the game's formative years.
