Each time a target is assigned damage, Torbran, Thane of Red Fell adds 2 to that damage.

Arc Trail has two instances of damage being assigned, so Torbran will affect both of them, dealing 4 damage to one target and 3 damage to another.

When you divide damage from Magmatic Core, Torbran adds 2 damage to the damage assigned to each different target.

I'm aware that combat damage must be assigned to lethal before bonuses, but was looking at cards like Arc Trail or Magmatic Core. Would each permanent or player assigned damage also take the +2 from Torbran, Thane of Red Fell or does he affect the total damage to be divided?

Found the remains of a G/R land destruction deck the other day... Thresher Beast and Destructive Urge sitting next to each other. Braid of Fire, Brand of Ill Omen and Magmatic Core were in there as well...

DominusArcanix Thanks! Still tweaking it, will probably add the Nev's Disk.

hfvalenz Cathartic Reunion always makes me nervous. A smart blue player will destroy you. It's a juicy Fork target for sure, but I'm not sure it's worth the potential downside. Magmatic Core just seems like a bad card by itself. I have other ways in the deck to spend Braid of Fire mana, and it's a weak combo anyway.

What about Cathartic Reunion?

Also, Magmatic Core pairs well with Braids.

I'm just building a Zo-Zu hate-everyone deck, I liked your approach, +1.

alright, so I did some more digging - I've been kicking around a similar deck idea for a while. here's some of the stuff you might be interested in:

Pain for everyone:

Citadel of Pain, Copper Tablet, Power Surge (read the errata for this one, it makes more sense, Shadows of the Past, Pyrohemia, Pestilence, Dark Suspicions (or Bulwark, depending. kinda mutually exclusive), Rivalry, Skullcage, Wheel of Torture, Iron Maiden and Circle of Affliction

No creatures for You!

Death Pits of Rath (which couples well with Pyrohemia and Pestilence from earlier), along with Circle of Flame, Heat Stroke, Magmatic Core, Mudslide, Wave of Terror, War's Toll, Storage Matrix, and Noetic Scales.

Punishment and protection

Pia's Revolution, War's Toll, Bitter Feud (kinda a furnace of wrath - but only for those two against each other), Defense Grid.

probably some stuff in here you considered already, just figured I'd sift through this stuff and see if anything was to your liking

I love this! but if you want to keep the creatureless theme you need some more burn/draw cards likeBloodchief Ascension , Quest for the Nihil Stone , Shrieking Affliction , Liliana's Caress , Pyromancer Ascension, Trespasser's Curse, Vessel of Malignity ,Waste Not Everlasting Torment, (MAYBE (prob not) Imminent Doom)),Megrim, Necrogen Mists, Phyrexian ArenaUnderworld Dreams , Endless Whispers, Leyline of the Void, Magmatic Core, Spiteful Visions, Torment of Scarabs, Exquisite Blood, Gibbering Descent ,or if creatures are ok here are a couple ideas Genju of the Spires ,Satyr Firedancer , Hammer of Purphoros, Awaken the Ancient
