Tree of Perdition swaps its toughness with a target opponent's life total, leaving them at 13; Blasphemous Act then deals exactly 13 damage to all creatures, and Boros Reckoner's redirect trigger finishes that same opponent for the remainder. The combo lives in Mardu spellslinger or lifegain-punishment shells — commanders like Licia, Sanguine Tribune or Kaalia of the Vast that can already threaten combat give this line a natural home.

How it works

Prerequisites

Tree of Perdition does not have summoning sickness. You have enough mana available to cast Blasphemous Act.

Steps

Activate Tree of Perdition, exchanging target opponent's life total with Tree of Perdition's toughness.
Cast Blasphemous Act, dealing thirteen damage to all creatures.
Boros Reckoner triggers, dealing thirteen damage to target opponent.

Result

Target opponent loses the game

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Boros Reckoner can be swapped for Spitemare or Truefire Captain, both of which redirect the 13 identically and sit in the same Mardu color identity. The line only eliminates one opponent at a time, so pair it with a haste enabler like Swiftfoot Boots to remove the summoning-sickness prerequisite and threaten the kill the same turn Tree of Perdition lands.
