How does Fortified Area work?
Asked by k0o808 13 years ago
If I play Fortified Area , does this mean my walls can attack? Or does it only pertain to blocking in respect to walls? Or does this no longer exist as the banding rule has been thrown out?
The text on Fortified Area read:
Wall creatures you control get +1/+0 and have 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.)

A Fortified Area alone doesn't mean your walls can attack, but if you also had a wall enchanted with Animate Wall, then it could attack with banding.

Right. Banding still exists, and it is relevant as far as blocking is concerned - you can block as a band and then you choose damage assignments. As far as actually getting them to attack, yeah, that takes Rolling Stones . Which is much better than the band with the same name :P

no your walls cant attack.
Fortified Area only pertains to blocking.
and as far as i know it still exists. it is still in the mtg rules. i just think that they will not print anymore cards with banding though.
hope this helps
