Toby, Beastie Befriender 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.
Official card text
When Toby enters, create a 4/4 white Beast creature token with "This token can't attack or block alone." As long as you control four or more creature tokens, creature tokens you control have flying.
How it works : Toby, Beastie Befriender
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
If you control more than one creature with "This creature can't attack or block alone" they can attack or block together, even if no other creatures attack or block.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
Although the Beast token can't attack alone, other attacking creatures don't have to attack the same player, planeswalker, or battle. For example, the Beast token could attack an opponent and another creature could attack a planeswalker. Similarly, other blocking creatures don't have to block the same creature that the Beast token blocks.

- #3· Wizards of the Coast
Once the Beast token has attacked or blocked, removing all of your other attacking or blocking creatures won't cause it to stop attacking or blocking.

- #4· Wizards of the Coast
If an effect says the Beast token attacks or blocks "if able" and you control one or more other creatures that are able to attack or block, you must attack or block with the Beast token and at least one other creature.

- #5· Wizards of the Coast
