"Goblins charge with a deafening war cry. The cry doesn't mean anything—it just drowns out the drums!" —Reod Dai, mercenary
Rulings
Multiple War Drums are not cumulative. They are redundant.
When combined with an effect that reads "Each creature you control can't be blocked by more than one creature," none of your creatures can be blocked.
