Deck discussion for Dimir Mindgames [Standard]

I'm just wondering what happens when you go up against anything running hexproof

the deck has Devour Flesh and Cyclonic Rift (overloaded) in the SB. It also features Thoughtseize - so you can get rid of the hexproofed targets before they're ever a problem.

Why "illness in the rank" not "Bile Blight" ??

Rapid Hybridization and Curse of the Swine both make creatures into tokens. So does Swan Song. Master of Waves, Elspeth, Brimaz and Xenagos all make powerful, dangerous tokens as well and are main parts of the meta - so Illness does a lot here.

But you usually must use two spels as mass removal, bile blight you use one time and is much more flexible. But that is only my opinion.
