This has downsides, like your opponent can now chump block an entire band with a 1/1 token and effectively block several of your creatures at once; and upsides, namely your trades with big creatures result in far fewer casualties than normal (ex: your banded 2/2 and 3/3 get blocked by a 5/5 creature, you assign all 5 damage to the 2/2, in the end your 2/2 dies and your opponent's 5/5 dies).
