Battering Ram

{2}
Artifact Creature — Construct

At the beginning of combat on your turn, this creature gains banding until end of combat. (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 being blocked by a creature, you divide that creature's combat damage, not its controller, among any of the creatures it's blocking.)

Whenever this creature becomes blocked by a Wall, destroy that Wall at end of combat.

  • 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.

  • If a creature in combat has banding, its controller assigns damage for creatures blocking or blocked by it.
