Death and Taxes - Comments

That's so cool. I didn't even consider finishers like the ones you suggested. I did some research, and Tree of Perdition is even more nutso than you described in this deck. The rules text for it on Scryfall (https://scryfall.com/card/emn/109/tree-of-perdition#rulings) state that when someone's life total is altered by the tree, they gain/lose the respective amount. I can activate Tree of Perdition to drop someone to 13. Then, the next turn, I can drop Tainted Remedy, activate Tree of Perdition again (on the same player) and, as long as they had 26 life when I first activated it, I can just kill them. My inner Timmy squeals with glee. I also like Benevolent Offering, False Cure, and Triskaidekaphobia. I don't like Congregate, since it only does something with Tainted Remedy/False Cure is in play and Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim requires Tree of Perdition to do really well. Not to mention, this deck doesn't really have creatures it wants to sacrifice.
