Carte Magic Dire Wolves

Dire Wolves is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.

01

Official card text

This creature has banding as long as you control a Plains. (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.)

How it works : Dire Wolves

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

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

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    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.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    A maximum of one nonbanding creature can join an attacking band no matter how many creatures with banding are in it.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    Creatures in the same band must all attack the same player or planeswalker.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
