That red ability is a strange one when global. If I attack with three creatures and my opponent has 4 creatures, he can either block all three creatures, or block with all his creatures, but not necessarily the same creature. Confusing, but that's what tip and trick cards are for.
Not sure about the cost... but I figure universal lifelink is pretty good. Better leave it at 5.
That is pretty interesting. If you're attacking with one flyer and two ground creatures, their reach blocker has to go in front of the flyer even if they'd rather block differently; and they can only gang-block at all if they've got more creatures than you. Looks reasonable. I also agree that universal lifelink is pretty good so the cost is probably sensible.
This card references bond of community instead of itself for "this creature must be blocked if able", is that intentional?
No it isn't. Corrected, and thanks for the catch, visitor.
