Wow - this was a pool I would love to have opened. I saw an interesting BW "one big creature" deck but it was probably too easy to disrupt. I went with a bit safer option in UW flyers / control.

I think the scrolls are pretty significant here. At worst, they cycle for . At best, they keep you in the game and dig for the card you need.

I just didn't like white in this pool.  I may have got this wrong but I ended up with a 3 colour human beatdown deck.  Normally, I don't like to play 3 colour but with 4 fixers in the deck I think it will be fine.

I decided to go there with the B/W deck.  I found it difficult to justify Homicidal Seclusion since a balance was needed between staying alive (aka. playing chump blockers and having only one creature on the board), however I felt Demonic Rising provides more value in that it could be setup by a timely Barter in Blood, ideally leaving Angelic Tombs and a new Demon.  The Angelic Tombs, scrolls, two mana creatures and Drivers are meant to work together to recur effects to keep us alive until we can drop Avacyn.

I'm glad someone went there - it was too interesting not to 

I think if you are doing the one creature thing, you do want to run Homicidal Seclusion , perhaps over the second driver of the dead . When you finally get a creature on the board it can change the tide of the game in one swing. Having a second creature is probably not an issue since you have a couple of sac outlets. I would also have run the Vessel of Endless Rest over the 18th land - since you are unlikely to need a three drop as much as the five drop. For both those reasons, I would have been tempted to run renegade demon over holy justiciar - when you finally have a creature on the field you will need it to matter when you attack.

But that's just my opinion. I pretty much agree with your build otherwise.
