Oh yeah, the inner Vorthos in me wants to build another obscure EDH deck, based around a seemingly terrible legend, General Jarkeld. And of course, since he's white and from Ice Age, I NEED to build this deck around banding. Of course. Plus Banding actually isn't that bad with his ability and I could see him just being fun in multiplayer matchups. Anyways, here goes!
I'm looking for some good flavor suggestions (preferably older cards that are somewhat decent but nostalgic), but they have to be decent too and more focused on multiplayer. Basically, I want to be able to mix it up a bit but also be able to come out of nowhere and win, somehow.
The one banding card I will add is Helm of Chatzuk, instead of Cooperation. I know Cooperation has the General in its flavor text, but the Helm is just better and to me screams more flavor, especially since I remember it being such a good pull at the rare slot. LOL
I think I'll take out Marshaling Cry for the Helm. Thanks for the suggestions!
EDIT: On second thought, flavor wise, I think I might try to stick with older cards only. What do you think? Should I limit it to old card frame only or even just to sets that had something to do with Banding (Mirage-block and before)? Should I include Coldsnap just because it fits with the whole Ice Age block?
Maybe add more Kjedorans? Kjeldoran Royal Guard is a card I used to love playing with in casual. I don't even know why, maybe I liked her sword? Either way, this deck looks cool.
Moat although costly, is pretty nostalgic. And it 'keeps the Black Knight at bay'.

I think Pianna, Nomad Captain would like to be part of your band. Maybe consider Death or Glory to recoup after a sweep. Jareth, Leonine Titan would be a beast in a defensive band.
Perhaps Pulsemage Advocate? Good for making friends in multiplayer.
Also, Cooperation. Prolly not the best card you could add, but the art's just great - plus your General supplies the flavor text!
The one banding card I will add is Helm of Chatzuk, instead of Cooperation. I know Cooperation has the General in its flavor text, but the Helm is just better and to me screams more flavor, especially since I remember it being such a good pull at the rare slot. LOL

Now for my shameless plug of using Scroll Rack with Land Tax.
Maybe add more Kjedorans? Kjeldoran Royal Guard is a card I used to love playing with in casual. I don't even know why, maybe I liked her sword? Either way, this deck looks cool.
