Tree of Perdition + Dollhouse of Horrors + Corpse Knight
How it works
- Activate Dollhouse of Horrors by paying 1, tapping it and exiling Tree of Perdition from your graveyard, creating a token copy of Tree of Perdition that is a 0/0 Construct with haste.
- When the Tree of Perdition token enters the battlefield, Corpse Knight triggers.
- Holding priority, activate the Tree of Perdition token by tapping it, swapping an opponent's life total with Tree of Perdition's toughness.
- Resolve the Corpse Knight trigger, causing each opponent to lose 1 life.
- The opponent whose life total was swapped loses the game due to having zero or les life.
This macabre machinery turns the graveyard into a killing floor by weaving together resurrection, life-manipulation, and direct damage. With Corpse Knight already waiting on the battlefield to punish the opposition whenever new allies arrive, you deploy Dollhouse of Horrors to exhume Tree of Perdition as a hasty construct token. Because the newly manifested tree enters as a 0/0 before its static buffs fully take hold or right as it hits the board, tapping it immediately lets you swap your target opponent's life total with its current toughness of zero, plunging them into sudden defeat. Meanwhile, Corpse Knight's triggered ability ensures that the mere act of bringing the tree back seals the deal, draining the final drop of life away to guarantee a clean win.
