Why this?

Because Tree of Perdition and Wall of Shards are two really creative cards.

Combo

Distortion Strike > Twisted Image (or Turn to Frog) > Tree of Perdition to give opponent 1 life. Next turn, you have an unblockable 13/1 (or 1/13).

Also, Wall of Shards is fun because you don't care how much life you give the opponent.

Weaknesses

Can't control the board enough to prevent the combo from being disrupted. If Tree of Perdition is destroyed, then the game becomes really hard, since Assault Formation is a weak weak condition.

Sideboard

(I have no idea how to do this.)
