Can I Play Sorceries at the End of Combat?

Understanding Sorceries in Magic: The Gathering

In Magic: The Gathering (MTG), sorceries represent one-shot or short-term magical spells. Unlike instants, sorceries cannot be played during combat or at any time the stack is not empty.

Pre- and Post-Combat Main Phases

During your turn, you have two main phases: pre-combat and post-combat. During the pre-combat main phase, you can play sorceries before combat begins. In the post-combat main phase, you can also play sorceries after combat has ended.

Can My Opponent Use Sorcery Spells and Equipment After Declaring Combat?

Once your opponent declares combat, they must choose their attacking creatures and declare any potential blocks. After this point, they can only play sorcery spells or equip equipment if the effect specifically refers to combat. Otherwise, they cannot take any actions that would affect the combat.

Conclusion

In summary, you can only play sorceries during your pre- or post-combat main phases, and only when the stack is empty. Once combat has officially begun, you cannot play sorceries or equip equipment unless the card specifically allows for it.
