Please playtest my deck, advice welcome! Still working out the sideboard and wondering how this will match up against Esper or Azorius control.

I present to you "It's Garry Shandling's Show" - Black devotion with a splash of Blue.

Garry loves the limelight, he wants to hit the battlefield as many times as possible. This deck is designed to facilitate Garry's attention whoring, while providing a solid foundation to get up to speed and get the combo mechanisms working.

I started building this as a mono-black deck and realized that I wanted to add some scry lands to the deck, and I figured I might as well put it to good use. It lets me include Far / Away for added removal and an additional method of re-using our star Garry.

The Blue splash also allows for use of Clone which can be used to copy any of your devotion creatures for just 4 CMC, or use it to add to your army of rats. You can also use Clone to copy creatures brought back by Whip of Erebos or Rescue from the Underworld

Sacrifice a devotion creature to Rescue from the Underworld and bring back another devotion creature and you have a double bomb set to go off on your next upkeep.
