# Dire Wolves
- **Mana Cost:** `{2}{G}` (CMC: 3)
- **Type:** Creature — Wolf
- **Power/Toughness:** 2/2

## Oracle Text
This creature has banding as long as you control a Plains. (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.)
