Does Fighting Mean Attacking in MTG?

Nope, fighting and attacking in MTG are two different things! When a creature attacks, it's typically during your combat phase and you're declaring it as an attacker aiming at your opponent or their planeswalkers. Fighting, on the other hand, is a keyword action that means two creatures deal damage to each other outside the combat phase, usually triggered by spells or abilities. So, they're related but definitely not the same.

Gotta say, thinking fighting and attacking are the same is a common mix-up! But fighting is a specific action caused by cards, letting creatures deal damage to each other outside of combat. No combat steps involved!

Actually, fighting is more like a duel between creatures triggered by abilities or spells, not the same as an attack during combat.
