These are some really good pointers. I went ahead and made the adjustments above. I'll be honest my initial reaction after seeing this long comment was to dismiss everything and act defensively. But after reading it and looking into everything, you're right, these were some much needed improvements. Ty, really appreciate all this. Let me know if you think of anything else.EDIT: didn't realize that vampiric tutor was band in vintage and legacy... I went ahead and swapped it back with serum visions.
