Exchange vs Serial Spell

[Tiso]

Would that scenario work?

I think it would be legal to activate but when it went to resolve it wouldn't do anything since you have no cards in hand.

Yes you can, these 2 rulings might help you understand the mechanics of it's functionality:

You can activate "Serial Spell" to copy the effect of a Normal Spell Card, even if it is "Raigeki" or "Soul Exchange" and copying the effect serves no real purpose.

If you chain "Serial Spell" to "Dragged Down into the Grave", the player who activated "Serial Spell" has no cards in hand, so the effect of "Dragged Down into the Grave" is impossible to resolve, and the effect Disappears.

So basically Exchange's effect would dissapear after Serial Spell resolves.

So the scenario doesnt work unless you just want to discard your hand for no apparent reason.

Face down Call of the Haunted or face down Premature Burial and you want to special summon a card that you otherwise wouldn't be able to get out? That's the only reason I could see of chunking your hand away...
