Yeah, I wanted to test out how well kitchen finks would fill the slot, but it's just not as good without a way to reset the -1/-1 counters like in abzan.

Flipping a Tasigur with bob sounds really painful.
Cool list though!

Yeah, there is a definite nombo with bod and tasigur, but tasigur gives the deck some help in the long game with recursion in the midrange mirror. Hopefully as a one of, he shouldn't be flipped by a bob too often.

My bad! I thought he was a 4 of. 1 should be easy to manage

It's a good card, just doesn't have a place in a midrange deck like this since it doesn't act as removal

Total noob question, but is Tasigur really worth running? Sure, he's a big body for cheap, but at the point you can activate his ability, you want to be beating your opponent down with Raging Ravine. Your opponent could also just give you back a hand control spell, which is completely irrelevant when you both are top decking. I'm not saying his ability is bad. He can get you back a removal spell, or that extra damage you needed. However, the keyword is can.
Aside from that, he non-boes with Tarmogoyf, Scavenging Ooze, Kolaghan's Command, and Dark Confidant. He can eventually help Goyf with the mill, but the turn he comes down, he turns all your Goyfs into 0/1s or 1/2s.
I'm not saying Tasigur is a bad card. What I'm saying is that he isn't worth running in this build, which has a good amount of graveyard manipulation. However, I am kind of a noob when it comes to Modern, so feel free to prove me wrong. I saw most of these points in the comments already here, but I really think he isn't worth running.

Huntmaster of the Fells Flip is pretty much a must-play nowadays if you have any creature decks in your local meta. Even in Modern he can just take over a game. Other than that, I'd suggest splitting your Thoughtseize and Inquisition of Kozilek at an even 3/3. It's more important now than it ever has been in Modern to be able to take what you need from your opponent, so Thoughtseize is at it's premium vs combo, and it's not terrible vs. most everything else as well.
