Banding
Together's picture is from an opening sequence
from the Japanese running of the anime. However,
it is clearly just a representation of the bond
between the heroes of the show and their
willingness to fight together.
The applications of Banding Together are pretty
straightforward and easy to see. If your deck
uses heroes and your leader has 5 strength at
level 2, you should use this card. Heck, if your
leader doesn't have 5 strength but you use a
majority of characters that do have 5 strength,
that works as well. The point is, this is a
supplement card for hero decks. They aren't
quite competitive yet, but I'm fairly certain,
with the close of the anime episodes coming in
the Sacrifice set, heroes will see a boost, as
they are, ultimately, the victors.
In constructed, this card will see play. Your
leader is Ed, you use this card, your leader is
Maes, you use this card, your leader is
Alphonse, well, you get the point. In sealed,
however, this card is not as useful, as getting
enough heroes is not easy.
Sealed: 2.5/5 Hmm, not too good.
Constructed: 5/5 You use heroes, you use this
card.

Welcome to the end of Lionhart week as we reveiw
Banding Together. It's a nice card, especially
going against something you are lacking in.
Playing against Homonculus? +3 wits if you have
three heros. ect ect. It's a nice effect +x to x
attribute. If you love playing heros, then
here's your card. Villians can't play this card!
w00t! >:D Would have been nice if it was a
react, instead of a Battle Strength, but it's
still okay. You can do alot of countering with
this card, especially if run in multiples.
Banding Together gets a 4 out of 5.

Together
Event
5 Strength Cost
Battle Strength 5: Target character gets +1 to
one attribute for each of your hero characters,
to a maximum bonus of 3.
A cheaper Out the Window for heroes. I don't get
why they make this now, when we have quick. I'm
probably giving this a lower rating than I
should, but I hate boring cards.
Rating: 2/5 (Boring =/ , Battle Pump)

Banding
Together represents all the forces of good
teaming up to help one another out. This is
reflected in its effect which is a pump that
gets stronger with each hero character you have
in play. Of course this card will only see play
in a Hero deck, but it is probably one of the
better pumps to come along in awhile. It can
easily get to the maximum bonus of +3, if your
leader is a hero and you start with 1 or 2
heroes allies, it is possible to get the full
bonus from turn one. Usually you can only get
such a high pump from higher cost cards such as
Out the Window or cards which require you to
give up more resources such as Frenzy. It also
being a noble event makes it searchable with
Rush Valley Streets.
If there is one downside to the card is that the
5 strength cost can be a bit hard to get if
you’re running it in an Elric deck, however
since it targets a character you only need one
person with 5 strength to play it and you can
target any character. However all in all, it is
an awesome pump to go alongside Frenzy and A
Hero’s Passing.
Pros:
-Easy to get the maximum bonus of +3 in a Hero
deck
-You can apply the pump to any attribute
-Noble keyword
Cons:
-5 Strength can be a bit hard to come by in some
Elric decks
Sealed:2/5-Unless you can get a Hero military
leader, it can be hard to get 3 Heroes down for
the full effect.
Constructed:5/5-Great pump to go with A Hero’s
Passing and Frenzy
