With 12 cards in the deck that can be cast from exile, Serum Powder suddenly becomes amazing. Starting with 8+ available cards is not uncommon. The printings of Lost Legacy and Scrapheap Scrounger in Kaladesh are, I hope, enough to put this deck over the top.
So what do you think? Is this deck fast enough to compete? Do you see room for improvement? Let me know!
I don't really get how you would defend against almost anything in modern with this. Mana leaks and thoughtseize aren't going to be enough to stop most decks in the format. I get that you can cast those cards from exile, but 4 mana for a 3/3 flyer that you still need to pay full cost for? That card is bad even if you can cast it from exile.
For casual, I like the thought of it, but I can't see anything that would make this deck competitive.
It's never going to be competitive, but it looks fun. You could consider something like Heartless Summoning as it allows you to take advantage of all the extra creatures you are trying to have in exile.
There's just nothing in Modern to take advantage of the repeat exile though. Food Chain is in legacy.
You could also try something fun like Commandeer too.
