# Soraya the Falconer
- **Mana Cost:** `{1}{W}{W}` (CMC: 3)
- **Type:** Legendary Creature — Human
- **Power/Toughness:** 2/2

## Oracle Text
Bird creatures get +1/+1.
{1}{W}: Target Bird creature gains banding until end of turn. (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 a player controls are blocking or being blocked by a creature, that player divides that creature's combat damage, not its controller, among any of the creatures it's being blocked by or is blocking.)

> *"Soraya speaks with the hunters of the air, as do all of her family line."
