Battalion is an ability word introduced in Gatecrash, wherein it is the Boros Legion guild mechanic.[2] It gives an advantageous effect when a creature with battalion attacks alongside 2 or more other creatures. The mechanic was designed or inspired by Shawn Main, who, for the Great Designer Search 2, submitted "Assault".[3][4] Dragon's Maze added 2 cards with batallion.

Rulings

  • The three attacking creatures don't have to be attacking the same player or planeswalker.
  • Once a battalion ability has triggered, it doesn't matter how many creatures are still attacking when that ability resolves.
  • The effects of battalion abilities vary from card to card. Read each card carefully.

Example

Silver-border

One variant of Garbage Elemental has battalion.
