Benalish Hero

Description

The Benalish Hero is a foundational card from the 1994 Magic: The Gathering Foreign Black Border set, identified by the set code FBB and card number 4. Printed in French, this Common rarity creature belongs to the Human Soldier subtype and costs a single white mana to cast. With a power and toughness of 1/1, it serves as a low-cost early-game presence in the game. The card’s primary strategic value lies in its Banding ability. This mechanic allows players to group this creature with other Banding creatures to attack as a single unit. Crucially, when creatures with Banding are involved in blocking or being blocked, the controller of the Banding creature chooses how to divide the incoming damage among the blocking or blocking creatures. Douglas Shuler provided the original artwork for this release. The French-language Foreign Black Border series appeals to collectors completing regional sets or studying the game's early global printing history. As card number 4 in the Foreign Black Border set, the Benalish Hero is a 1/1 Human Soldier creature with the Banding ability. The card’s straightforward stats and unique rules text make it a recognizable component of the Foreign Black Border checklist.
