The mysterious Tree of Perdition is the executioner's tree that stood in a courtyard at Thraben Cathedral on Innistrad. Previously known as the Tree of Redemption, it held the power to absolve the souls of the hanged.
The courtyard resembled an ornate garden with stands of fruit trees and gold-and-white flowers that were cultivated with painstaking care. At the heart of the garden, the trees fell away, leaving a view of the Helvault. After the destruction of the Cathedral and the Helvault and the arrival of Emrakul, the tree survived as a twisted version of its former self.
Trivia
The card's effect on a game is completely unprecedented. Players have been able to exchange their life totals with other things before (usually other life totals), but never before with a creature's toughness. The effect is also unmarked.
