Notes
 
The ideal opening is turn 1 suspend Gargadon/cast Viscera Seer, turn 2 Anafenza/Melira, followed by turn 3 Kitchen Finks/pitch SSG for Murderous Redcap and go off. Unless Summoner's Pact is for the last piece (Kitchen Finks), both it and Glittering Wish usually cost the deck a full turn, as does casting Spellskite or Inquisition of Kozilek for protection.

Going Forward

I haven't gotten to play this deck much since it's not tournament legal or on Magic Online yet. There are a few pretty obvious avenues of change:


Birthing Pod over time became less about combo and more about value. It could be that this deck wants to remove a lot of the combo redundancy (either tutors or extra pieces), and instead just play more good cards. Turn the deck into a value deck that happens to combo off sometimes.
The math might be such that cutting a few tutors and adding a few Faithless Lootings produces more consistently fast wins.
Simian Spirit Guide generates a lot of speed, but if there's enough disruption in the format it's better to have a reusable mana source. I could see rearranging the deck to have Caverns in the main (and maybe a basic Plains to preserve life total), and just shoot for turn 4 with protection instead of trying to race.
