Working on a more fun and random version of the deck. I want it to be fun and play differently each game. Meaning I don't want it to win the same way every game. So I play to put in quiet a few explosive cards and just see what happens. Also I am going to only play legends, for creatures, as a way to try and keep things interesting.
Any Legends I missed that I should include? Or interesting power play cards from these colors?
Thanks in advance for comments/suggestions.
Updated the list a bit. Kinda worried my average is CMC = 4.45. Perhaps some less spendy legends? I counted X as 5 for the 6 spells that had them. Will see how it goes.

Tantarus: It didn't make the gaka greifer level, so it should be fine

Cut most of your suggestions, mists and CoW. Added harmonic, e wit and wordly.
Finally down to 100, took out 2 lands which scares me a bit, as I only have a few pieces of ramp.
Okay I am going to revamp this deck to be a bit more cutthroat. Last week people thought stripmining my basics when I was shy on land was fun. So I feel the door to mass land wipes has been opened. And I plan to kick that door down with some nasty things like Geddon, Cataclysm and Death Cloud. Updated list coming.
Any suggestions welcome. I am looking to really lower the average cmc and bully the table. Still no infinities though.
Edit: First wave of changes made. I need to drop 7 cards. I added in a sac engine for cards. trying to the cmc low. But titans seem worth it still as they can be pretty pro after a land wipe.
Normally I'm not a big fan of land wipe in the format but in your playgroup I agree the gauntlet has been thrown. Don't forget the Zuran Orb.
Yeah either am I usually, but I think strip mining a basic land means it is open game on that front. I ended up avoiding Armageddon though and going with stuff like Global Ruin, Natural Balance, Cataclysm and Death Cloud so hopefully the land count will not be zero very often, while still punishing greedy decks.
Totally Changing the deck. The cutthroat version got boring after a few plays. It always played the same. Going for a more fun and random theme. Doran and Legends, no more staple creatures. Could use some help finding interesting legends to use. Also looking for some more splashy power plays spells such as Overwhelming stampede, Living Death etc.
OoooHHH!! I love me some fun with Legends decks!! My Uril deck will go through this kind of incarnation frequently too. Here are a few of my suggestions:
Asceticism is also really good to go along with Privileged Position and/or Sterling Grove. I have hit Asceticism and Teeg off of a huge Gee Way-ve several times now, and it's stupidly good!! Speaking of thew Wave, do you have enough permanents to pull it off consistently?? What about a Praetor's Counsel help recur some of that awesomeness??

Good suggestions. I may work some of those in, This is only a first draft of the deck. If this is not fun to play I may go to some kinda token based them with doubling season and the new ghetto one. Sadly ghave or karador would probably be better over all, but this doran is just so sexy... Must use.
I am going to strip out some more answers for some more threats, just not sure what yet. So hard to stay away from staples such as Titans, Rector, Stoneforge and so on.
I still run Seedborn and the Titans myself. I tried the Legendary only thing, and it gets too restrictive. No TMNT, Oracle, or Yavimaya Elder makes things go s l o w e r . . .

Gaddok Teeg looks really questionable here, he actually seems like a good card for hosing this deck. If you want to keep him I'd add in some sac outlets like High Market and Phyrexian Tower so you can remove him when you need to cast expensive spells. Multani, Maro-Sorcerer looks like a good fit for this deck being both legendary and bomby.

Yeah that is a fair point, I may put in Nath and/or Teneb in his place.
So I recently got a full art foil Doran, the Siege Tower and clearly that means a doran deck.
