"prevent combat damage is broken and doesn't work properly
Prevent combat damage cards don't work against "target creature fights another target creature" cards when its combat damage. not" target creature deals damage to target creature" but they actually engage in combat and the white cards to prevent that damage are broken and dont work
there needs to be further clarification on if a combat card is actual combat, and what cards can actually prevent the damage
it swung a game for me massively in the wrong direction because the language led me to believe the combat damage would have been prevented with my white card, but instead cost me mana and a creature that could continue stacking power with counters if the card i played worked as described

A fight is NOT combat. So of course, prevent combat damage effects don't work on it. Combat is the COMBAT PHASE, and combat damage is the damage attacking and blocking creatures assign and deal in the combat damage step turn based action of doing that. That's the ONLY damage that is combat damage. Any other damage, even if dealt during the combat phase, is NON-combat damage. That includes fights, bites, and other effects that have creature deal damage to something.
