Icatian Skirmishers
Creature — Human Soldierrare
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.)
Whenever this creature attacks, all creatures banded with it gain first strike until end of turn.
Skirmishers engaged raiders before they could reach the towns. Although these units typically suffered huge losses, they never lacked volunteers.

2009-10-01
If a creature in combat has banding, its controller assigns damage for creatures blocking or blocked by it.
2008-10-01
If a creature with banding attacks, it can team up with any number of other attacking creatures with banding (and up to one nonbanding creature) and attack as a unit called a "band." The band can be blocked by any creature that could block a single creature in the band. Blocking any creature in a band blocks the entire band. If a creature with banding is blocked, the attacking player chooses how the blockers' damage is assigned.
2008-10-01
A maximum of one nonbanding creature can join an attacking band no matter how many creatures with banding are in it.
2008-10-01
Creatures in the same band must all attack the same player or planeswalker.
. If you do, it gains indestructible until end of turn. (Damage and effects that say "destroy" don't destroy it.)
