Artifact Creature - Construct 1/1, 2 (2)
At the beginning of your combat phase, Battering Ram gains banding until end of combat. (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 being blocked by a creature, you divide that creature's combat damage, not its controller, among any of the creatures it's blocking.) Whenever Battering Ram becomes blocked by a Wall, destroy that Wall at end of combat.1 By the time Mishra was defeated, no mage was foolish enough to rely heavily on walls.

Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]
- 10/1/2008: 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.
- 10/1/2008: A maximum of one nonbanding creature can join an attacking band no matter how many creatures with banding are in it.
- 10/1/2008: Creatures in the same band must all attack the same player or planeswalker.
- 10/1/2009: If a creature in combat has banding, it's controller assigns damage for creatures blocking or blocked by it. That player can ignore the damage assignment order when making this assignment.
