Serum Visions is a Magic: The Gathering podcast about iterative brewing. Each episode we work on a project -- a deck, strategy, or archetype that we think has room for exploration -- and brew to the fringes of competitive deck building.
In this episode we check in on the rest of Strixhaven Spoilers and share our super tepid takes. After that we’ll recount experiences with our most recent Monastery Mentor brews and how we might augment them moving forward.

Serum Visions is a Magic: The Gathering podcast about iterative brewing. Each episode we work on a project -- a deck, strategy, or archetype that we think has room for exploration -- and brew to the fringes of competitive deck building.
In this episode we see how things have been going iterating with the Grinding Station, Metalwork Colossus, Mystic Forge shell, take a sneak peek at and discuss some upcoming Strixhaven cards, before focusing our sights on an old Mentor. Is the time finally right for the 3 mana 2/2 to finally shine?

Serum Visions is a Magic: The Gathering podcast about iterative brewing. Each episode we work on a project -- a deck, strategy, or archetype that we think has room for exploration -- and brew to the fringes of competitive deck building.
In this episode we check in with Dr Combo to see how things have been going with the Grinding Breach deck that was showing so much promise. After that we’ll weave a tale of wonder and woe as we dive into a brew that has all the best stuff: lots of cantrips, crazy lines with graveyard recursion, and a 10/10 beat stick you can cast for free!
Have a sip of your Blinkmoth tonic and open your third eye -- this is Serum Visions.

Serum Visions is a Magic: The Gathering podcast about iterative brewing. Each episode we work on a project -- a deck, strategy, or archetype that we think has room for exploration -- and brew to the fringes of competitive deck building.
In this episode we take a look in the rear view mirror at some of our Vehicle brews and what we learned about the Artifact subtype. After that we’ll revisit some of our other ongoing projects and check in to see how they may fare in this new Modern meta. Spoiler alert! Arun got another 5-0, this time with a Lazav list.

Serum Visions is a Magic: The Gathering podcast about iterative brewing. Each episode we work on a project -- a deck, strategy, or archetype that we think has room for exploration -- and brew to the fringes of competitive deck building.
In this episode we welcome a very special guest, the one and only Cavedan to the pod to talk about our early experiences and first impressions brewing with some of the new cards from Kaldheim. After that we’ll open the books on a new project, Project: Vehicles. The artifact subtype has largely been underwhelming in Modern, but some of the new cards printed in Kaldheim have us wondering if it’s time to crew up.

In this episode we’ll share our tales of wonder and woe after playing and brewing a bit in Legacy. After that we’ll dive into brainstorming how some of the new cards of Kaldheim might fit into some of our older decklists and projects. Can the new gods hang in Modern, or will they hit the format already doomed to be relics of a bygone era?

In this episode we’ll recap and recount our tales of woes and wonder as we iterated on some projects from episodes past. After that we’ll take a deep dive into Legacy to learn about what makes the format tick. We’ll discuss some of the archetypal pillars of the format, important cards, and start to figure out how we might brew in this wild and crazy format.

In this episode we’ll recap our experiences brewing with Painter’s Servant; will the plucky little scarecrow be the next big hit in Modern? Spoiler alert: nope! After discussing our Painter brews we’ll revisit some old lists that we’ve got some fresh ideas for in 2021 -- this is a podcast about iterative brewing, after all.

Serum Visions is a Magic: The Gathering podcast about iterative brewing. Each episode we work on a project -- a deck, strategy, or archetype that we think has room for exploration -- and brew to the fringes of competitive deck building.
In this episode we discuss the results of our budget brews, which strategies panned out, and which were better left alone. We’ll discuss further modifications we might make moving forward, and our general lessons learned about brewing with budget constraints. After that we'll open a new project, Project Painter. Painter's Servant is a wild card with a unique ability that has seen next to no Modern play. We'll take a closer look at what makes the Scarecrow powerful and how we might best exploit it in Modern.
