Also, the deck really needs 4-of Mox opals

I think 1 colossus is more than enough for the deck. I'd take out one and out in a Spine of Ish Sah. Otherwise, I love the deck!
Stoic rebuttal in over cancel, every once in a while it will matter. Otherwise, looks fun!
The problem is that bant is only super competitive in the mythic version. I liked your version, it's brave to try new lists. Good show!
I would take out the 4 Jace's Erasures. You simply don't have the card drawing to make it effective, even with 4 temple bells.
Aether vial isn't exactly casual friendly, as it was banned in more current formats. If this is just a casual deck, and you just happen to have all these cards, then by all means go for it. As long as you aren't playing against "real" legacy decks, you will do fine.
Jareth has no synergy in this deck does he?
Should be "any longer than necessary by swordsing some 10/10 and giving the opponent even more time."
I think that, in the more aggressive decks, PAth would be better than swords. If you are needing to kill something that badly, then the opponent probably has all their lands. Plus, you don't want to make your clock any longer than necessary by pathing some 10/10 and giving the opponent even more time. I feel like cultivate/reach are just too slow. 8 is definitely too many, since you already have 4 vials. take out four of the accelerators, put the 4 paths in the main, and get some dredge hate in the side. Something like 1 Bojuka bog (KotR can tutor it) 1 relic, 2 crypt would probably be enough. The last thing is that, in legacy, this deck is ALWAYS going to have more lands than the opponent. White Orchid is basically just another white knight without protection at this point. Yank the 4 of those for 4 mutavault, and I think you will be happy with the result. Obviously, there are the more powerful dual lands and whatnot you could put in, but this would be a start.
cascade and mana leak is awkward. I like mana leak in the more controlling bant, so maybe take out the ardent pleas for Bant Sureblade or even Jenara. Also, cutting 1 bant charm for a single Clarion Ultimatum might be worth it, since a resolved clarion is insane, and this deck seems like it might want it.
IF you really want to take advantage of Emeria, kor cartographer is a great card. possibly even better than martial coup, especially since shards is gone in like 2 months.
I'd cut 2 emeria and 2 kabira crossroads for 4 plains, because emeria needs 7 to get online. The extra 4 basics will also be much more consistent. You might also consider journey to nowhere, Linvala, gideon, and ajani. for the sideboard, I'd suggest 4 celestial purge, and 2 emerge unscathed.
Temple bell is great for these decks, because eventually they run out of cards and you have a lot of dead discard. Temple bell gives you the option of refilling both your and your opponent's hands with ammunition, all for you.
needs temple bell.
I was trying something like this in extended with cloudstone curio. As awesome as it was when it worked, the combo is just a little too cute. I might have to get online and test this standard version.
Sweet mercy YES! +1
Heh, deck description is perfect.
