First I'd like to explain Banding the simplest way I know how: The 4th Edition rule book.

Other online sources seem to have great difficulty in explaining it any clearer than the 4th Edition rule book.

Here is the copy/paste:

The 4th Edition rule book Show

Banding-: Creatures with the ability "banding" may choose to join forces with other creatures during an attack or defense.

You can form a band of attacking creatures out of any number of creatures that have banding; you can even include one creature that doesn't have banding. You must declare which creatures you want to band when you declare your attack; attacking bands can't form or disband after your opponent declares defense. When your banded group of creatures attacks, your opponent's creatures have to block this band as one or let it through as one. If a defending creature blocks any of the banded creatures, then it blocks them all. Any damage this defending creature deals gets distributed among the creatures in your attacking band as you desire. Banding doesn't allow creatures in a band to "share" other special abilities.

Did you catch all that? Here's a quiz to find out: You have a Benalish Hero (1/1, banding), a Mesa Pegasus (1/1, flying, banding), and a War Mammoth (3/3, trample). You want to attack with these three creatures. Can you band them? For your answer, read the first sentence in the above paragraph. You can form an attacking band out of any number of banders plus up to one non-bander. So the Hero, Pegasus, and Mammoth can band to attack.

Quiz, part two: Can a creature without flying block this band? For your answer, remember that banding doesn't allow creatures to "share" other special abilities. The Pegasus still flies, but the Hero and the Mammoth can't. Also, if one of them is blocked, then the whole band is blocked. So a non-flier could block the Hero or the Mammoth and thereby block this band.

Quiz, part three: Would the band trample? No, since banding creatures don't "share" special abilities. The Mammoth, however, would still trample.

Quiz, part four: If your opponent blocks the band with a 2/2 creature, how much trample damage gets through? Now's the time to dig out that sentence about trampling, the one that didn't make sense earlier. Trample damage is always assigned last. So if the Hero/Pegasus/Mammoth band gets blocked by a 2/2 creature, the damage from the Hero and the Pegasus kills the defending creature and all 3 points of the Mammoth's trample damage carry over to your opponent.

Quiz, part four: If your opponent blocks the band with a 2/2 creature, how much trample damage gets through? Now's the time to dig out that sentence about trampling, the one that didn't make sense earlier. Trample damage is always assigned last. So if the Hero/Pegasus/Mammoth band gets blocked by a 2/2 creature, the damage from the Hero and the Pegasus kills the defending creature and all 3 points of the Mammoth's trample damage carry over to your opponent.

Quiz, part five: if that 2/2 creature blocks your band as described above, how many of your creatures die? The answer is up to you; since you're the band's controller, you get to assign the damage among all the creatures in the band. You probably want to assign both points of damage to the Mammoth; that way, all of your creatures survive.

Quiz, part six: If your opponent blocks the band with a 4/4 creature instead, how many of your creatures die? Again, the answer is up to you. Most likely, you'll want to assign all 4 points to the Hero, keeping the Pegasus and Mammoth alive. Yes, you can do that; when we say you can distribute the damage however you like, we really do mean however you like, so long as all the damage ends up hitting one or more of the creatures in your band.

Banding works a little differently when you're defending. In the sample game, Keisha blocked Brett's Minotaur with two Bears. Brett then got to decide how the Minotaur's damage would be distributed between the Bears. If one of the Bears had had banding, however, Keisha would have gotten to distribute the damage.

If even one creature in a defending group has banding, then the controller of the group gets to decide how the attacker's damage gets distributed. For example, you can block one really big attacker with four creatures. If even one of your defenders has banding, you get to decide how the attacking creature's damage gets assigned. Remember, though, that only creatures that could legally block the attacking creature on their own can band together to block the attacker.

This damage-sharing ability only applies to damage taken in combat. Other damage, like that from Lightning Bolts, still only hits the creature it
targets.

Simple Strategy:

Attach equipments to banding creatures >>> build a small army >>> band! >>> deffend/attack!

The damage will all be dealt to chump tokens in the banding group and the non-banding creatures are geared more towards giving all my creatures a shared ability so this way my attacking bands can have full buffs.

I have a custom alter of the oversized Nahiri with Erza Scarlet on it, but I'm not sure how to upload the image here...
