What are you playing in the Mystery Open Slots? More pitch cards? More threats?

Arguably Ponder could be cut or at least have copies reduced (Ponder + Shardless is a 4-mana play, something this deck won't do). Those decks don't always use Ponder. But every competitive Shardless...

Have you never played Shardless BUG or RUG Waterfalls?

You EOT Brainstorm putting the useless Ancestral Vision in your hand 2nd from the top, draw the other card, then Shardless Agent into a...

I had 16 lands before, with a list that curved out on 2. With Shardless Agent (3 mana), is 16 too few? That's why I went to 18.

Cascading into Brainstorm isn't bad. Brainstorm and Ponder are just good cards. They help filter cards, smooth out land drops, reduce variance, and enable Delver.

I cut Crashing Footfalls because...

Paying an upkeep of 2 or more in a deck with 4 Delver of Secrets and 0 Tolarian Academy, 0 Sol Ring, 0 Mana Crypt, 0 Mana Vault, 0 P9 seems like a bad idea.

Legacy tempo decks are designed to...

Pitch heavy is more interesting by far, otherwise it's just a tweak of Death's Shadow.

Mystic Remora and Meditate are much worse in Legacy than Vintage though. Vintage is a format where you blow...

I didn't mean that the green splash was just for FOV. I meant the constraint of 18ish green cards was just for FOV (which is only a SB card). Otherwise you wouldn't need so much green in UBg Shadow,...

How are the 4 ADs + 3 Assassin's Trophy in your testing?

The more I think about it, seems like overkill. I wonder if the deck would be a better Death's Shadow deck with -3 Trophy -1 Library +4...

Re: black and green counts. If you cut 1-2 BG slots down from 18 and add 4 cantrips, overall I doubt you having a net reduction in chance to have a card to pitch. FoW needs at least 18 because you...

+4 Ponder
-2 Force of Vigor (sideboard)
-1 Force of Negation
-1 Assassin's Trophy

Also once you have lands you need to ask yourself how often Thoughtseize beats Unmask. The other pitch deck...
