Things I'm interested in trying:

4 Anticipate: Almost the entire deck is instants anyway, and sometimes the Serum Visions at sorcery speed can be annoying.

Rise/Fall : Who doesn't want to cast Hymn to Tourach in Modern? Both effects synergize extremely well with what the deck wants to do.

Finally, I'd like to cut one or two of the cantrips for some slightly more powerful card draw. I find that in a lot of my longer games, I will run out of cards to keep my enemy off of me before I can find a Tasigur, the Golden Fang or Gurmag Angler. I've been thinking of adding Jace, Architect of Thought to the mainboard as a threat/card draw engine for longer matchups.

Suggestions are appreciated, especially on the sideboard!
