Today we're learning a new mechanic. General idea is to get good control of the battlefield by going wide / midrange with white creatures and anthems, then crash in either with Crash Through or Ride Down in one big stompy band (or multiple separate bands depending on what our opponent's board looks like). The Liger lets us buff on the turn before we swing, bumping a smaller banding creature up in stats and then buffing the team (also, it's another very confusing mechanic we're splashing for flavor).

Also, in theory, opponents get confused about how banding works and think they can't block a big pile if there's a single flyer in it and concede prematurely. Also, attacking into this board is a nightmare if a single relevant banding creature is available to either tank all the damage or distribute it so nothing dies.
