Short answer: No. Long answer: Still no, but because the rules specify that 'fight' involves two creatures, and you can't be your own opponent.

Absolutely not. MTG rules are clear that a creature cannot target itself for a fight since fighting requires two distinct targets. So, if you're looking to have one of your creatures take a swing at itself, you're out of luck!

Nope, in MTG a creature can't fight itself. The fight mechanic in Magic the Gathering requires two target creatures, one controlled by you and one your opponent controls. It's like trying to arm wrestle yourself – sounds fun, but it just doesn't work in this universe!

Haha, no way. That’d be like a card battling its reflection. MTG doesn’t roll that way – you gotta pick on someone your own size, but not literally yourself.
