6 Million Ways to Die, Choose One (Standard MTG Deck)

Early game is Pharika's Chosen and Typhoid Rats . I think the deathtouch will help keep aggro decks at bay while the deck moves into it's main mechanics. I chose Despise over Thoughtseize for two reasons. First and foremost is cost. Second is I don't have a lot of life gain on the MB. I have Whip of Erebos on the SB so if I can find a play set that costs less than my firstborn child, it may still find its way into the deck.

Waste Not is really the main mechanic of the game and a two drop. Brain Maggot as some cheap hand control.

Master of the Feast is a cheap 5/5 flyer and a way to make sure my opponent always has a card for me to force a discard. Mind Rot for obvious reasons.

Disciple of Phenax as more hand control/discard. Paragon of Open Graves gives a 1/1 bump to my low level deathtouch creatures, but it also gives me the ability to throw deathtouch on a blocker. I'm a little iffy on this one at the four spot.

Indulgent Tormentor as a end game flyer and a way to get extra cards in my hand. I've really liked how this card has played out in this deck and finally Liliana Vess as a discard engine.

Sideboard:Bile Blight and Hero's Downfall incase I run into some aggro that I just can't control.Whip of Erebos I put this in here incase I run into a deck that gives me early leeway to get in the lifelink. Ruthless Ripper 1 drop deathtouch, incase I need more early help.Gray Merchant of Asphodel possible alt win condition??

This is a pretty new deck idea for me so any thoughts/help would be greatly appreciated.
