Couldn't it be written, "The first time en-Kor takes damage during a turn, you may reduce that damage by 1. If you reduced damage this way, en-Kor deals 1 damage to target creature you control." ? That way we can at least get rid of that  trigger and reduce the confusion by a little. It still isn't quite intuitive, dealing damage to your own stuff and whatnot.

@Astarael7: I don't entirely agree. These kids already exist and haven't broken any eternal formats, so a new version that has the exact same targets (meaning only your guys) doesn't break anything. Only being able to damage something if the Kor is hurt also doesn't break anything. Something I didn't consider until now (thanks for the help) is lifelink... So would a rewording of... : Prevent the next 1 damage that would be dealt to Nomads and Kor. The source of that damage instead deals 1 damage to target creature that you control.It gets around lifelink shenanigans, but damages "when ~ deals combat damage" abilities... but at that case, we may be putting boots on an ooze. It's closer to a white fight mechanic, while still being Banding in fewer words. @Unfortunately: Not really. The issue is the "first time" clause. I'm going to guess that you know how banding works. The en-Kor ability was Banding as an activated ability instead of a horribly wordy keyword. Only moving one damage doesn't give the effect of banding.

Many of these were on the Magic Resources Site years ago. It was removed around the time 2HG became a sanctioned format.

This is definitely unacceptable at common under NWO, so it can hardly be a major mechanic.
This.
Plus the mechanic itself isn't very deep.
Task Force  + Doran, the Siege Tower  .
And it breaks.
Clever deduction Watson! Maybe you can explain why Supergirl is trying to kill me.
