Oracle Text

(Any creatures with , and up to one without, can attack in a band. Bands are blocked as a group. If any creatures with 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.)

{1} (At the beginning of your upkeep, put an age counter on this permanent, then sacrifice it unless you pay its upkeep cost for each age counter on it.)

"I'm always a little leery of anyone who offers to kill other people for free." —Gerrard of the *Weatherlight*

Paying cumulative upkeep is always optional. If it's not paid, the permanent with cumulative upkeep is sacrificed. Partial payments of the total cumulative upkeep cost can't be made. For example, if a permanent with "cumulative upkeep {1}" has three age counters on it when its cumulative upkeep ability triggers, it gets another age counter and then its controller chooses to either pay {4} or sacrifice the permanent.

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

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