Tree of Perdition swaps its 13 toughness with a targeted opponent's life total, dropping them to 1. Blasphemous Act then deals 13 to all creatures, and Coalhauler Swine's trigger redirects 13 damage to that same opponent, finishing the job. The combo slots naturally into Rakdos group-slug or big-toughness builds where Blasphemous Act is already a staple board wipe.

Steps

Coalhauler Swine triggers, dealing thirteen damage to target opponent.

Result

Target opponent loses the game

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Tree of Perdition can also pair with Triskaidekaphobia for an alternate kill that doesn't require the Swine or the Act, cutting the piece count to 2. If Coalhauler Swine is unavailable, any creature with a damage-redirect trigger on the same axis can substitute, but Swine is the only colorless-castable option that hits for the full 13. Note that this line kills exactly one opponent per loop — it doesn't scale to the table without resetting Tree of Perdition's summoning-sickness window.
