i am making a delver deck. to help flip Delver of Secrets Flip , i can't decide which card is better: Telling Time or Serum Visions ?
Telling time has more possibilities for me to get the card i want and at instant speed, but serum visions is only one blue mana.
Which card would be better for me to run in this deck?
Without looking at the deck (you didn't leave a deck link) I would actually go with Serum Visions . My reasons are as follows (these are basically personal opinion)
1) visions let you decide if you want put cards on the bottom where as Telling Time forces you to choose
2) visions is cheaper (I know u said that but it plays a factor for sure)
3) though visions is sorcery speed the opportunity to pitch 2 cards (again at your discretion) that you might not need is pretty valuable.
Obviously it's your call but that's my 2 cents.

Both have their forte, Serum Visions is the stronger dig effect if you're looking for something particular to draw, Telling Time has instant speed on its side and can give you a guarantee for the top so long as an instant/sorcery is revealed. I would say Telling Time , but both would be good choices.

And if there is room, run both. A decklist would be helpful

Good point from oscar42. Both have their merits but it depends on the deck. We need a list to come up with a real recommendation.

At turn 1 you 're already casting Delver. Telling can be used on turn two, at the end of opponent's turn. It seens better, as it leaves the mana open for answers
