Can you move to combat without attacking in MTG?
Absolutely, you can move to the combat phase without declaring any attackers in MTG. It's a common strategy to bluff or to trigger abilities that activate during the combat phase. So, don't feel pressured to swing with creatures if it doesn't fit your game plan!

Totally can! Sometimes it's even smart if you have effects that trigger 'at the beginning of combat' but don't wanna risk your creatures.
Yeah, you don't have to attack. The combat phase has steps you go through even if you don't actually declare any attackers. It's all about strategy.
Been playing MTG for years, and moving to combat without attacking is a legit move. Great for psyching out your opponent or setting up for next turn.
Nope, gotta attack if you can. Why enter combat if you're not gonna fight?
