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.)

Where it came from
Shield Bearer was released in 1994 as part of the Fifth Edition core set for Magic: The Gathering. As a common creature card, it was designed to populate the lower tiers of gameplay, providing players with a foundational defensive unit that embodied the game's mechanics of battlefield interaction during its early years of growth.
The card features artwork by Dan Frazier, a seminal illustrator whose distinct style helped define the aesthetic of Magic: The Gathering in its infancy. Frazier utilized a traditional approach to capture the stoic, armored nature of the shield-bearing figure, a design choice intended to clearly communicate the creature's functional role as a blocker within the game’s strategic framework.
