Can you attack a commander directly in MTG?
Nope, that's not how it works. In Commander, you attack players, not their commanders. If a commander is on the battlefield, it's just another creature that can block or be attacked, but you're still hitting the player's life total.

Absolutely, you can attack a commander directly in Magic The Gathering! Just like any other player, commanders can be targeted by attacks when declaring attackers during the combat phase. Make sure your opponent doesn't have any creatures that can block for their commander, though!
Yes, you can! I do it all the time to keep those pesky commanders in check. Direct attacks on commanders are a solid strategy, especially if you're trying to rack up commander damage for a win!
