I made this deck solely for the purpose of using {Tree Of Redemption} to kill your opponent!

BlackJester

I'd recommend equipment or something to give it at least one power so that it doesn't die when you switch it's P/T.

Would you have time to {fling} the tree once {twisted image} resolves?  I think not

If only there were cheap G pump spells  that he could use... Cough {mutagenic growth} cough.

I'd have that checked by a doctor. 😷

No, once {Twisted Image} resolves, the tree dies as soon as anyone gets priority.
{Increasing Savagery} works, but there's only two.

I'd recommend {Warmonger's Chariot}. You can swap P/T, attack, AND {Fling} it.
If you have to boost it with another spell, then thats three specific spells to cast in a row.

Couldn't you cast fling, then interrupt it by playing the second spell to switch its p/t before fling resolves? Last in first out kinda thing. Isn't priority only passed before the first spell resolves and after the last spell on the stack finishes?

You sac the creature as part of the cost, at the same time you pay the mana for it.

Isn't he/she using the spells that give +1/+1 counters on the tree?  That would make it a 1/14.  Flip it, then fling it.

Anyone else really want to see this deck in action? Once the mechanics are working, I plan on proxying the cards I don't have for some casual play.

Gotcha, forgot that part. Lol

Only thing that would suck is a counter on fling. Since you sac as part of casting cost, see what I mean?

Other than that, looks like fun.

I have a similar deck using {Doran, Seige Tower} instead of {Fling}. I like this idea though.
