Another banding variant, for Challenge # 029. I debated over the exact rules. Obviously there should never normally be this level of rules text on a common reminder, but I hope it may mostly work the way people expect, so you don't have to scrutinise it every time.
It could be done different ways, but I decided the mounted creature would count as attacking or blocking, but that the mount and mounted creature were declared as attacking or blocking as one. I'm not sure whether this should bypass "can't attack" or "can't block" restrictions. You can unmount for free, I left that off the reminder.
A few other examples of the mechanic: Robo Quadbike, Trained Roc, Primitive Tank
Perhaps the first words of the reminder text should be "Attach or unattach a creature..." I don't see why having to pay to unmount is a terrible thing, and while the reminder text wouldn't end up saying anything about simultaneously mounting two creatures, logic and the comprehensive rules could handle that.
