Can you do a combat phase without attacking in MTG?
Absolutely! In Magic The Gathering, you still go through the combat phase even if you decide not to attack with any creatures. It's a strategic move sometimes, especially if you have abilities or cards that trigger during the combat phase, regardless of attacking.

Nah, why would you ever skip attacking? Always go full offense!
Been playing MTG for years, and skipping the attack in the combat phase can be a smart move. It's all about the strategy and what you've got up your sleeve for later turns.
Yup, you can totally skip attacking during the combat phase. Sometimes it's all about playing it cool and waiting for the right moment to strike!
