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.)
{T}: Counter target activated ability from an artifact source unless that ability's controller pays {W}. (Mana abilities can't be targeted.)

Rulings
Official rulings from Wizards of the Coast (5).
- 2016-06-08Activated abilities contain a colon. They're generally written "[Cost]: [Effect]." Some keywords are activated abilities and will have colons in their reminder text.
- 2009-10-01If a creature in combat has banding, its controller assigns damage for creatures blocking or blocked by it.
- 2008-10-01If 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.
- 2008-10-01A maximum of one nonbanding creature can join an attacking band no matter how many creatures with banding are in it.
- 2008-10-01Creatures in the same band must all attack the same player or planeswalker.
