Pikemen Rules Text & Legality
Pikemen
First strike; banding (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 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.)
"As the cavalry bore down, we faced them with swords drawn and pikes hidden in the grass at our feet. 'Don't lift your pikes 'til I give the word,' I said." —Maeveen O'Donagh, *Memoirs of a Soldier*
Pikemen is legal in Legacy, Commander and Pauper, and not legal in Standard, Pioneer and Modern.

Pikemen Rulings
- Oct 1, 2009
If a creature in combat has banding, its controller assigns damage for creatures blocking or blocked by it.
- Oct 1, 2008
A maximum of one nonbanding creature can join an attacking band no matter how many creatures with banding are in it.
- Oct 1, 2008
Creatures in the same band must all attack the same player or planeswalker.
- Oct 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.
