Warrior en-Kor
Creature — Kor Warrior Knight
: The next 1 damage that would be dealt to Warrior en-Kor this turn is dealt to target creature you control instead.

No, it doesn't go infinite. The reason is in the rules for how to handle damage prevention/redirection effects and replacement effects. Prevention, redirection and replacement effects modify the result of an event as it happens, and any such effect that could apply to an event can only be applied to that event once. Shock will only get its damage increased one time, even if it gets bounced around a bunch of times.
In the example of Shock, Warrior en-Kor and Furnace of Rath: You cast Shock targeting the Warrior. You respond by activating the Warrior's ability some number of times, let's say 4 (note the Warrior was printed at a time when some rules and text templates worked differently - the current Oracle text reads ": The next 1 damage that would be dealt to Warrior en-Kor this turn is dealt to target creature you control instead"). Shock starts resolving, and let's say you want to apply Furnace's replacement effect before the Warrior's redirection effect (since you control the object that would be affected by the event, you decide what to apply first). Now the event is that Shock is going to deal 4 damage to Warrior. Warrior's redirection effect is applied and now the event is that Shock is dealing its 4 damage somewhere else. The Furnace effect won't be applied again after this point, even if you sent the damage towards another Warrior and activated them a bunch of times to bounce the damage back and forth.

Maybe read Torbran again. Torbran says this:
If a red source you control would deal damage to an opponent or a permanent an opponent controls, it deals that much damage plus 2 instead.
Torbran doesn't increase the damage dealt to creatures you control yourself.
I couldn't actually find an answer regarding e.g. Furnace of Rath with Warrior en-Kor, but I think you could actually infinitely double your damage. Maybe someone else can confirm or deny?

If you use a Shock on Warrior en-Kor and you have Torbran, Thane of Red Fell on the battlefield, can you then redirect the damage from Warrior en-Kor to itself and get another+2 on the damage? If not, could you do so with 2 Warrior en-Kor on the battlefield. Do you need to change Warrior en-Kors colour?

I think you would like Gerrard, Weatherlight Hero . Due to his ability, you can do some very cool things, if you're fond of wiping the board, but want to be more aggressive about it. He makes cards like Cataclysm , Razia's Purification , and Scourglass a lot of fun. If you were thinking Jor Kadeem, I've had a copy for a long time and have just never seen the potential, but Gerrard makes much better use of cards like Mishra's Bauble , Urza's Bauble , Ichor Wellspring , and Arcum's Astrolabe for insane card value, along with bigger stuff like Memory Jar and the above-mentioned Scourglass . I'm in the process of collecting cards for a Gerrard deck, and the angle I plan on taking him is Spitemare , Boros Reckoner , Lavabelly Sliver , Truefire Captain , Mogg Fanatic Coalhauler Swine , and Creepy Doll with mass damage effects like Star of Extinction and Blasphemous Act . Throw in some redirection cards like Master Warcraft , Gideon's Sacrifice , Nomads en-Kor , Outrider en-Kor , Shaman en-Kor , and Warrior en-Kor , and you can build a deck that really does uniquely Boros things focused on mass destruction and direct damage.

Take any one creature from groups 1 and 2 to achieve a super-massive life-total.
Group 1: Nomads en-Kor, Warrior en-Kor, Shaman en-Kor.
Group 2: Angelic Protector, Daru Spiritualist, Task Force.
Use your commander to sacrifice a creature with infinite toughness to gain infinite life. Then all you have to worry about is commander damage.

A Boros deck that doesn't attack? (RW Combo)
8 years ago
I have thought of another thing you may want to try the en-Kor creatures Lancers en-Kor, Nomads en-Kor, Outrider en-Kor, Shaman en-Kor, Spirit en-Kor, or Warrior en-Kor. They give more damage sponges to redirect damage to your spite creatures, or if your don't have any of them in play your general. and as an added bonus Shaman en-Kor will also pull damage off of something else just to sink it where you want it anyway. Furthermore if you have a damage increase you can loop damge between them and your spite creatures till it is lethal.

Cool build! Warrior en-Kor + Hornet Nest could possibly be 1 more redirect combo for different situations :)
