Let me know what u think. And yes I know why {tasigur}, just an early drop for opponents to deal with, with no cards in hand.

This isn't a deck for whip

It is sir. I lose a lot of life and the leeches get bigger when they come back, plus bringing back gray merchant.

Nice list, just a few suggestions:

{herald of torment} or {master of the feast} might bring more value than {squelching leeches}

If you have 4 {thoughtsieze} then I wouldn't run conditionals like {despies} and {duress}

Perhaps more permanents to add to devotion?

True, with Master it's just "get the extra card then run him over"

 For quick easy creatures I'd suggest {Gurmag Swiftwing} and  {Spiteful Returned} to pump devotion and to add some extra hits to life

I feel like this should shift more towards mono {B} devotion and less towards control.
