About getting Cruel to your hand faster wouldn't in be better to use Serum Visions since it dig's for 3 for only 1 mana? It also smooth out the mana for when you have 3 mana and you are gonna keep manaleak up etc.

Why Black Vise on 8rack ? It's anti synergy with the deck since it's excess of four. I would recommend Shrieking Affliction.
You could play Rapid Bite and Prey Upon or something similiar for removing problem minions your opponent might have, and if you want equipments that give indestructibility why not run 4x Darksteel Plate and 1x Shield of Kaldra for example? You could also play some Ambush Vipers to suprise an attacking opponent. Also considering most of your cards are under 4 mana 24 lands seem a bit of a high number I could expect several manafloods :P The equipments eat a lot of mana thought if you want to play and equip on the same turn. Personally I would run 18-20 lands
Nice deck, I really like CruelControl. How are the check lands working out for you? I don't personally like them in 3 color deck's especially with manlands, I myself too often have a starting hand with only land's that come to the play tapped. All in all the deck looks solid ;) I see you have some agro players on your meta!
Glad you like it. Violent outburst is used to cascade for Restore Balance same as Ardent Plea.
