Battalion
- For the Morningtide theme deck, see Battalion (preconstructed theme deck).
Battalion is an ability word introduced in Gatecrash, wherein it is the Boros Legion guild mechanic. [1] 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".[2][3] 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.
