Tree of Perdition should definitely not be in the deck.
Why not? The tree could be sac-reanimated, and if you eternalize the tree you could turn target player's life into 4 instead of 13.
It's not a control card, and it is a huge threat. Try casting this and see what happens before you can activate it the next turn. You will be targeted by everything and it will probably just die.
Target player loses 27 life is not a control card, it is a burn card. If you play this, you better be applying a lot of pressure.
Unless you want to use it as a combo piece - discard it and reanimate it during someone's end step, kill them on upkeep.
It's not uncommon for a control deck to have a wincon. In fact, I think almost all decks have at least one wincon. Just because a card is not purely control doesn't make it unviable in such decks.
