Banding is NOT as complicated as everyone thinks.

I really don't mean for this deck to be a joke deck that exists to annoy my playgroup with an old mechanic that has unintuitive rules. I feel like it's a potentially powerful mechanic that pairs very well with the en-Kor creature line (allowing an en-Kor to take all the damage for a band, then shuffle it off to another creature) alongside an indestructible commander (who can receive all the damage). This deck is still definitely under construction, and I'd love advice and suggestions!
