Tree of Perdition swaps its 0/13 toughness with a target opponent's life total, setting them to 13. Blasphemous Act then deals exactly 13 damage to all creatures, and Brash Taunter's trigger redirects that 13 damage straight to the same opponent — lethal. The combo sits in Rakdos and fits naturally in Lyzolda, the Blood Witch or Prossh, Skyraider of Kher lists that already want creature-heavy boards to fuel Blasphemous Act.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

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

02

Steps

  1. Activate Tree of Perdition, exchanging target opponent's life total with Tree of Perdition's toughness.
  2. Cast Blasphemous Act, dealing thirteen damage to all creatures.
  3. Brash Taunter triggers, dealing thirteen damage to target opponent.

03

Result

Target opponent loses the game

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Boros Reckoner fills the Brash Taunter slot if Taunter is removed before the Act resolves — same redirect trigger, same result. If Tree of Perdition is unavailable, Tree of Redemption in white offers an identical life-swap effect, though that pushes the color identity into Mardu. Note this line kills one opponent at a time, so a full table win requires either another loop or supplemental reach.
