Shield Bearer, Creature — human soldier, designed by Dan Frazier first released in Jun, 1995 in the set Ice Age and was printed exactly in 3 different ways.
A deck that focuses on creating a cohesive and strategic combat formation would benefit from including Shield Bearer due to its banding ability, allowing for more efficient blocking and attacking strategies. While Shield Bearer can be useful in certain situations, there are generally better cards with more impactful abilities that could be considered for inclusion in competitive decks, such as Benalish Marshal or Thalia, Guardian of Thraben. Ultimately, the decision to include Shield Bearer would depend on the specific strategy and synergy of the deck in question.

Creatures in the same band must all attack the same player or planeswalker.
10/01/08
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.
