My first outing with the deck resulted in a 2-3 finish in a GPT. Last weekend I played in an IQ and ended 4-2 (with the worst tiebreakers, so I finished 15th). The results aren't fantastic, but I'm also unfamiliar with this sort of type of deck (formerly a combo player). I've been learning a lot, so I expect my records to get better.

For some details about match-ups, I'll post my results from the events I've played in.

GPT (2-3)
2-1 vs UWR Control
1-2 vs UR Delver
2-1 vs BW Tokens
0-2 vs Naya Zoo
1-2 vs Kiki Pod

IQ (4-2)
1-2 vs Jund
2-1 vs RUG Twin
0-2 vs Rock
2-1 vs BR Discard
2-1 vs UWR Control
2-1 vs Bogles

Is serum visions even really worth it? You aren't setting up a delver flip or anything and as a 4 of, it seems fairly weak

Serum Visions gives us another turn 1 play, and it allows you to keep some 1-land hands on the draw. Scry is quite helpful setting up mid-game draws when you have excess mana to still hold up counters or Decay. In post-board games, it helps you dig for your sideboard cards.

tl;dr I've really liked Serum Visions.
