OK! Hey everyone, I've been wanting to make a deck based around Homicidal Seclusion for a while and after testing a bit on cockatrice, this has proven to be quite devastating! The deck can afford to have many board wipes, as it's creatures are resilient and better on their own. Lingering Souls and Reassembling Skeleton are used to stall and provide food for Demonlord of Ashmouth. After the sweep, play fatties like Bloodgift Demon, Gideon Jura or even Griselbrand to beat face and gain stupidly vast quantities of life. Even a token becomes a 4/2 lifelinker with seclusion in play!
Terminus seems like a self-hoser here, and pretty much shuts off your CA engine. Same with Grafdigger's Cage in the sideboard. If you're not Snapcasting your sweepers, Black Sun's Zenith will keep coming back.
I'd be concerned about not stabilizing fast enough against aggro to hardcast Griselbrand with so little ramp.
I love this idea! Wouldn't Sorin, Lord of Innistrad fit really well, tough? He provides fodder for your demonlords, and his token can be a threat by itself with the seclusion on the field.

Hmm...
