What it does
Black legendary creatures you control have "bands with other legendary creatures." (Any legendary creatures can attack in a band as long as at least one has "bands with other legendary creatures." Bands are blocked as a group. If at least two legendary creatures you control, one of which has "bands with other legendary creatures," are blocking or being blocked by the same 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
Unholy Citadel was released in 1994 as part of the Legends expansion for Magic: The Gathering. This set was notable for introducing the concept of multi-colored cards and for its distinct, somber art direction, which aimed to evoke a sense of high fantasy and ancient lore. As a land card, Unholy Citadel was designed to provide specific utility within the game's evolving mechanics, reflecting the set's broader theme of powerful, corrupted locations.
The card’s illustration was crafted by artist Christopher Rush, a foundational figure in the early visual history of the game. Rush utilized a moody, atmospheric style to capture the ominous nature of the citadel, a common goal for his work during this period as he sought to ground the game's abstract mechanics in evocative, illustrative settings. The card was received by the player base as a niche tactical inclusion, valued more for its thematic contribution to the Legends world-building than for aggressive competitive utility.
