Cathedral of Serra
Land
White legendary creatures you control have "bands with other legendary creatures."

What? You play only Legends?

I really like your idea here! Though expensive, here are some lands that might be interesting to consider: Minamo, School at Water's Edge, Shinka, the Bloodsoaked Keep, Shizo, Death's Storehouse (there are two more in the cycle but I think those 3 are the most relevant here).
If you want, there are also the 'Bands With' lands (Mountain Stronghold, Cathedral of Serra, etc) if you are interested in adding some janky weirdness!

@cdkime: I'm gonna call you out on the lack of viable banding commanders, Kethis, the Hidden Hand or Sisay, Weatherlight Captain both enable the cycle of banding lands ( Cathedral of Serra , Seafarer's Quay , etc.) to be powerful, with Sisay being able to tutor Urborg to let them produce mana. Just think of the value!
Real talk though, banding is likely never coming back due to complexity and intricacy :(

triproberts12 i get what you are saying with Cathedral of Serra (it wasn't even for flavor that was just a bonus) not tapping for mana but with 16/34 creatures legendary i could argue that banding is a powerful utility and can overwhelm most people however i thought that they were more legendary creatures than there are so yeah it is going out. As for Serra's Sanctum well the deck needed and still need major white ramp and serr's does just that even if you only have 3 enchantments out that still 3 mana for one card tap which is around the average max for lands, rocks or dorks add even 2 more enchantments and it taps for 5 mana which pays for itself if it had a mana cost yes it would be better in a pure enchantment deck i concur there but still be able to tap for upwards of 10 mana is what this deck really needs

I think what this deck needs most is more lands and ramp. It's a little crazy to me that you would run Exploration and Burgeoning with 31 lands and think you're ever going to get any value out of them. As the deck is now, it seems like it will have trouble hitting its 4th land drop on time, let alone having extra lands. Nature's Lore , Farseek , Sakura-Tribe Elder , and Rampant Growth are the first cards I would think about adding, along with 6 lands. Cathedral of Serra is cool, flavor-wise, but it's not a mana source. I also question how reliable Serra's Sanctum is in a deck with 10 enchantments. It's an incredible card in an enchantress deck, but this is not one.
ThoAlmighty on What instrument would Chromium play?

I recently made a finalized draft of an EDH decklist centered around banding, with Chromium at the helm (for more old-school mechanics). As the easiest way to give banding consistently is with the cycle of banding lands (for this deck, Cathedral of Serra, Unholy Citadel, and Seafarer's Quay), the deck has a historic theme. The joke of the deck is that all the legendary creatures are part of a band, so after I put the deck together I was planning to alter all of them with simple clipart-ish instruments. My question is: based on the art and character of each card, what instrument should I paint?
Some of them are fairly simple, like Ayesha Tanaka. It's not a stretch to say she's singing, so I could paint a little microphone next to her. Odric, Lunarch Marshal could be playing a cello. Although recognizability is important, I'd like a lot of different instruments. The sillier, the better. Any ideas?

I am currently making a similar ramos deck, with my inspiration being the band lands: Adventurers' Guildhouse Cathedral of Serra Mountain Stronghold Seafarer's Quay Unholy Citadel. I think if you are running commander tribal, these are amazing additions if you dont mind teaching everyone you play with a new mechanic lol

You could try adding Adventurers' Guildhouse and Cathedral of Serra for more banding

Back again this week with the same deck. Definitely had good revisions due to comments last week and am hoping to replicate that.
General Overview: Captain Sisay + Adventurers' Guildhouse & Cathedral of Serra + Tample = An actually feasible banding deck.
