What about using the effect in the opposite manner? Instead of trying to get it into kill shot range, can you somehow repeatably switch its power with your life total to cause a "gain life" or "lose life" trigger?
Correct me if I am wrong, but swapping life with power, going from 20 to 4, would not trigger "whenever you lose life effects" and switching it back, going from 4 to 20, would not trigger "whenever you gain life effects".

When the ability resolves, Tree of Perdition’s toughness becomes the targeted opponent’s former life total and that player gains or loses an amount of life necessary so that his or her life total equals Tree of Perdition’s former toughness. Other effects that interact with life gain or life loss will interact with this effect accordingly.
By the way what happens if it gets killed while the switch ability is on the stack does your life stay the same or get switched anyway
If an effect would swap a property between two permanents or a permanent and a player, the effect checks if both of those things still exist before doing it. If you activate its ability, and in response someone removes Evra, the ability would not resolve.
So if someone does Befuddle or such in response to its ability, you can save yourself with an instant removal.
So, after making a living as a left back for Manchester United, Juventus, West Ham and the French national team, Evra went on to be an Avatar on Dominaria. Who knew.
Apparentle he's also a Naruu. Left back for Argus also?
Seriously i believe Blizzard could sue someone. This is clearly a Naruu
A Naaru with Kozilek-style wings? Perhaps it is a bit implausible...

Check Tree of Perdition's Oracle text:
That's kind of where I see Evra being used best, a somewhat risky 1-turn bomb (or 0-turn with haste) in an otherwise slow/controlly Wx deck.
I might try her out in my EDH Bant Enchantress deck, because all my other ways to win take some time besides Genesis Wave.
