Hellfire is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
Destroy all nonblack creatures. Hellfire deals X plus 3 damage to you, where X is the number of creatures that died this way.
How it works : Hellfire
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Hellfire checks the number of creatures put into graveyards as the result of its effect, not the number of creatures destroyed as a result of its effect. For example, a replacement effect that says “If a creature would be put into a graveyard from the battlefield, exile it instead” won’t affect whether a creature is destroyed or not, but will affect whether it’s put into a graveyard or not.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
A creature that regenerates instead of being destroyed doesn’t leave the battlefield, so it’s not put into a graveyard.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
A token creature that’s destroyed is put into its owner’s graveyard, and will be counted by Hellfire’s effect. (Immediately after Hellfire finishes resolving, the token will cease to exist.)
No other card is named in this ruling.
