# Fortified Area
- **Mana Cost:** `{1}{W}{W}` (CMC: 3)
- **Type:** Enchantment

## Oracle Text
Wall creatures you control get +1/+0 and have 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.)
