What would be really good is to cut down smoe swamps and put Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth. That was, all your lands can tap for  and whatever color they usually tap for. At very least, swap one for a Swamp. As such, running  and other colored lands, such as Plateau (since you’re in Legacy) would make lands that can tap for three colors of mana (always good to have  ). Consider stuff like Godless Shrine as well, or lands like that.
Akroma, Angel of Wrath would be good for this deck. As would Angel of Retribution or anything that has first strike.
I don’t know enough about the game to offer anymore suggestions, as I’m kinda a newbie, but I’m sure F_M would have some great ideas. |

| I don’t know Legacy very much, but I’d say this is more of a casual/fun deck than a Legacy one. Legacy is all about power. Force of Will, old dual lands like Plateau or Bayou or Volcanic Island, Meddling Mage, Fastbond, Gush, Quirion Dryad, Black Lotus, Moxen, etc. Legacy decks can kill in about 4 turns, TOPS, and I have a serious problem seeing this deck winning in 4 turns, let alone surviving 4 turns against a Fish, Hightide, IGGy Pop, Threshold, etc. So, considering it as a casual deck (I can move it to the right place later it you want), it’s too "all over the place", you see, you have regenerating guys, discard, life-gain, anti-suspend (no one plays suspend in Legacy, why suspend Lotus Bloom or Ancestral Vision in a format you can simply play Black Lotus or Ancestral Recall?) evasion, even a lone Sliver! You see, you’re trying to do too much stuff at the same time. Try to narrow your deck, focus on a goal. For instance, do you want to win while keeping your opponent from playing via discard? Then pack Dark Ritual, Duress, Cabal Therapy, Vindicate, Gerrad’s Veredict, Hymn to Tourach, Hypnotic Specter, etc. Want to control the board? Play Crucible of Worlds, Wrath of God, Damnation and Armageddon. Want to beatdown? Play Dark Ritual (yeah, it’s that awesome), Hypnotic Specter, Nantuko Shade, Jotun Grunt, etc. Pick a path, and focus on it, stick with your strategy, while not being a slave to the theme. That’s the best piece of advice I can give you for now. |

| Not really, it slipped past my guard that this is meant to be Legacy, and Legacy allows no P9s. Even in Vintage they’re restricted, meaning, one per deck of each, maximum. So it’s only about, what? 1200 dollars, for a Black Lotus + Mox Jet. |
