Torbran, Thane of Red Fell

Torbran is a straightforward damage amplifier that turns your red spells and creatures into efficient burn machines. Every point of damage your red sources deal becomes two extra points, making even humble Lightning Bolts and Shock-style effects devastating. The core gameplan is to load up on damage sources—both creatures and spells—then let Torbran's passive turn your regular outputs into a consistent clock that opponents can't ignore.

You'll want to build around efficient red damage dealers: creatures with haste or ping effects, direct damage spells, and any permanents that deal damage repeatedly. Cards like Chandra planeswalkers, ping creatures (Goblin Guide, Scrapyard Recombiner effects), and classic burn spells all get exponentially better. Once Torbran hits the board, you're doubling down on your damage output, making even a modest creature attack or spell feel like it's dealing far more than its nominal damage.
