Can you add to a creature's power after assigning it as an attacker in MTG?

Absolutely! Once you've declared your attackers during the combat phase, you can still beef up your creature's power with instant spells or abilities. Imagine swinging in with a creature and then surprising your opponent by boosting it with a Giant Growth. Just remember, you gotta do this before the damage step to make it count.

Nah, keep it simple. Declare attackers, then pump them up before the block phase. Timing is everything.

Yes, and doing so can be a real game-changer. I once used an instant spell to double a creature's power after declaring it as an attacker. My opponent did NOT see that coming and it swung the game in my favor. Flexibility and surprise, folks!
