Can you discard cards in MTG?
Yep, you can totally discard cards in Magic The Gathering, but it's usually not just 'cause you feel like it. Discarding is often a result of specific card effects or rules. So, if a card or an opponent's move tells you to discard, you gotta do it. Just tossing cards because you don't like 'em isn't part of the game's rules.

Short answer: Yes, but only when you're told to by a card or game mechanics. You can't just throw cards away willy-nilly!
Actually, discarding can be a strategy in some decks. There are cards and combos that benefit from having certain cards in your graveyard. So, while you do discard when the game or a card says so, sometimes you'll actually want to because it plays into your larger game plan.
