When Is Precombat Main Phase?

The first, or precombat, main phase is the second phase of the turn. The second, or postcombat, main phase is the fourth phase of the turn. See rule 505, “Main Phase.” 505.1.

Is there a main phase 2 in MTG?

The second main phase is identical to the first, except a player can only put down a land if that player did not place a land in the first main phase.

What are the phases in magic?

A turn consists of five phases, in this order: beginning, precombat main, combat, postcombat main, and ending. Each of these phases takes place every turn, even if nothing happens during the phase. The beginning, combat, and ending phases are further broken down into steps, which proceed in order.
