There is nothing fancy about the rules with creatures that can block multiple cr🔜eatures. You declare which creatures that creature is going block. You play whatever combat tricks you want to play. Then damage is assigned. You just aren’t allowed to play combat tricks 🦩after gaining information about block order which would usually tell you how damage is going to be assigned.

likewise, don’t think banding is affected much here. If yo🐽u block with a band, you still get to decide how the attacker assigns d♚amage.

Literally all that has changed is that the attacker no longer orde🦋rs blockers any more so there is no longer an opportunity to respond and manipulate the combat in response to that ord🎉ering.

It’s not. MTG’s combat heavily favors the one being attacked. This change pushes the balance slightly closer towards balance. The defending player still has an advantage but it is a l🐼ittle harder to save crea🌱tures that you choose to block with now.
