Homicidal Seclusion

Requests for Solo Mechanics

I really like mechanics like Exalted, the attacks-alone stuff from Neon Dynasty, and cards like Homicidal Seclusion/Deadly Wanderings/Blood Mist. Please make more stuff in that vein, including more noncreature permanents with Exalted/incidental abilities in this vein. Maybe a mana rock with Exalted?

I expect us to make more stuff in this vein.

Homicidal Seclusion Trivia

It was my birthday 5 days ago. Can I get some trivia on one of my favorite cards: Homicidal Seclusion? Thanks! :)

You are very persistent. I don’t have a lot of trivia on the card. I think the “loner” mechanic in Avacyn Restored was meant to help contrast to the teamwork feel of the good guys. As black was the center of the “bad guys”, the loner mechanic was put in black. Happy Belated Birthday!

Lifelink Design Philosophy

I had always thought that white lifelink was primarily designed for creature combat (Swift Justice granting first strike, Rhox Faithmender having such high toughness), while black lifelink was designed more for dealing damage to players (Daggerdrome Imp having flying, Homicidal Seclusion granting way more power than toughness). It seems from your podcast that that's not the case?

Remember that black had the ability that would later become lifelink before white had it.
