Official Rulings

I play two copies of Lethal Distraction (AoA 305), choosing the same creature each time. Later in the turn, I deal 1 damage to that creature. How much total damage does the creature take?

The creature takes 5 damage total: 1 from the initial damage, 2 from the first Lethal Distraction, and 2 from the second Lethal Distraction. Each resolution of Lethal Distraction’s “additional” damage adds 2 to the original damage, it is not a separate instance of damage.
