How it works

  1. At the beginning of your combat phase, God-Pharaoh's Gift triggers, exiling Tree of Perdition from your graveyard and creating a token copy of it that is a 4/4 Zombie with haste.
  2. When the Tree of Perdition token enters the battlefield, Pandemonium triggers.
  3. Holding priority, activate the Tree of Perdition token by tapping it, swapping an opponent's life total with Tree of Perdition's toughness.
  4. Resolve the Pandemonium trigger, causing the Tree of Perdition token to deal damage equal to its power to the opponent whose life total was swapped.
  5. The opponent loses the game due to having 0 life.

This brutal combination turns the graveyard into a launchpad for a swift execution by pairing God-Pharaoh's Gift with the unsuspecting Tree of Perdition. When the God-Pharaoh's Gift reanimates the Tree as a 4/4 Zombie token, its entrance immediately triggers Pandemonium, allowing you to hold priority while you tap the Tree token to swap an opponent's life total with its current toughness. Because the Tree token enters as a 4/4 due to the Gift's replacement effect, resolving the Pandemonium trigger right after the swap causes the token to deal 4 damage to that same opponent, dropping their newly swapped 4-life total straight to zero and instantly winning the game.
