Still looking at some legacy stuff. Wouldn't be worth trying to convert my token list into legacy? I found this list which I have most of the modern pieces for. Maybe out in some vindicates and humility instead of land tax? Land tax looks like it's thee just to offset the pegasus token buyback.

https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/1883300#paper

It doesn't seem like it does a lot of weird legacy stuff, which I think might be missing the point of legacy?

Target opponent reveals their hand. You choose a nonland card in that player�s hand or graveyard, and exile it. For as long as that card remains exiled, you may cast it, and you may spend mana as though it were any type to cast it.

I'm having trouble evaluating that card. Your opponent gets to tap it down for 3 turns but you gain 9 life and draw 3 cards... seems good.

It's the haste that sells it for me. Without it I'd be way down on it, but with it, your worst case is Draw 1, gain 3, eat removal on their turn, which seems fine. Well, unless you play it into open black mana, in which case you silly.

The ability to cast the spell after you've attacked with a rogue gets stapled to the exiled card, right? So if opponent kills this, and you attack a couple turns later with another rogue, you can cast the exiled card?

If it didn't, it would be templated like

You may cast cards exiled by ~ if you attacked with a rogue this turn, spend mana blah blah blah

desecration demon was quite good in mono-B control. it was slightly cheaper and didn't give your opponent stuff to tap it down for free, but you also didn't gain life and draw cards when they tapped it down.
so i dunno. the fail case here of spending 5 mana on a threat and getting Murdered (or Murderknighted) is pretty bad, since you just gave oppo three dorks. the case where they sacrifice them one at a time to tap down your troll is also pretty meh, because 3BB to extremely slowly gain 9 and draw 3 is probably not good.

hard card to evaluate. this thing is gigantic and ends the game really fast once it can start cracking in. it probably completely sucks against any kind of blue-based control deck, though, between Narset and Teferi.

They can tap it down for longer than 3 turns, but of course at some point they have to start providing their own sacrifices (and you keep getting resources). Also, you can pressure their creature base to make it more difficult for them to sac.

On the other hand, not only does it die to removal, but if it dies to removal immediately, they get three free tokens.

Compare it to Risk Factor, which already doesn't seem to get played much anymore (granted, this is partly due to red currently benefiting from an embarrassment of riches when it comes to drawing/seeing extra cards). It's a sweeter deal for your opponent, all else held equal; each extra card they give you prevents 8 damage, as opposed to 1.33 damage for Risk Factor. It also comes out at a clunkier spot on the curve, and is more vulnerable to countermagic (and is vulnerable to creature removal at all). For these alone, I don't think it's great, but watch me be proved wrong again.

edit: then again I forgot the desecration demon comp, which is a pretty good point.
