A good reason to not run Brainstorm is that you run a huge pile of mana sources, so the average card quality of your Brainstorms will be lower than your opponent's Brainstorms.

I think new Nissa and Worm Harvest give you a way to win the game against control. I don't know that the Nissa-Lili pair belongs in a deck with Assault, though - if you run Punishing Fire instead...
I'd be interested in experimenting with this, but in order for this to work you have to be able to justify sacrificing access to the best cards in your strategy (Knight, Teeg, sideboard cards) for a...
Vortex is just a vastly worse Seismic Assault. Most of the appeal of running the latter card is the ability to cast Loam twice in a turn and dumpster the opponent with all the lands you just got...
Haven't played Legacy since...well, since we met at SCG Phoenix in 2012, but I'd start with this:
3 Deathrite Shaman
4 Dark Confidant
3 Tarmogoyf
3 Countryside Crusher
4 Lightning Bolt
3...
4 Wasteland is probably at least one too many. You don't really need more than one, and there are plenty of decks that run enough basics to function even if you have Waste + Loam. I think two...
Well, with DRS and Mox you have six mana fixers that aren't lands. You can probably make the following mana base:
3 Grove of the Burnwillows
2 Graven Cairns
1 Twilight Mire
4 Verdant Catacombs...
Well, thankfully right now there aren't a ton of decks that are capable of killing Bob and shutting down graveyard access, at least in game one. LftL can still provide card advantage going long in...
Eh, I'd run this deck over Jund because I enjoy this deck more. I know that's a terrible reason to play a deck over a better version of the same deck, but then I haven't played Legacy in over two...
Aggro Loam can't beat combo because its clock is bad and it doesn't run enough disruption. To have enough space to fix those things, you'd have to take out the Loam engine, and then you're not...
Jund is on the down-and-out these days from what I can tell, so there's that.
It's easy to support both Liliana and Seismic Assault if you're running DRS and you're not opposed to running some...
There's very few decks in the format that can effectively answer Pack Rat once you start making more of them. Miracles is pretty much it unless you want to count "losing to combo" as a form of...
It seems okay, if slow. It's nice that it can be big without strictly relying on the graveyard, which gives you something to do under a Leyline or RiP. There aren't may decks that can kill multiple...
Bob is also an important reason to go black. If you're in straight Jund, DRS and Decay are pretty good reasons to stay there as well.
Is Dreams still worth it in a meta with a lot of blue and TNNs? I wouldn't mind trying DRS over it in the main and running Dreams in the sideboard.
Then again, I don't know how fast the format is...
No DRS? Especially with your curve basically starting on two, it seems worth trying.
Oh man, Jund before it was Jund. Good times, good times.
Honestly, it might just be best to side in some Seismic Assaults against control decks that can make the dude plan unattractive. You can...
I know you love you some Grizzly Fate, but I was thinking bigger than that. Basically, Worm Harvest is very efficient at creating a large number of individually low-quality creatures, but I would...
Three feels like the right number of Burning Wish to me as well. I just bring it up because two seemed like it was not enough given that "YP into Wish into some sort of card advantage/threat spell"...
Rotation seems too narrow. I'm not sure what it's better than in your list.
Honestly, I think you could use another Burning Wish or two. Wish seems really powerful in a YP version of the deck.
...
Okay.
1) It has the same CMC as Knight, Terravore, and Crusher, all of which are more synergistic with this deck's game plan. Overloading on three-drops makes the deck top-heavy and susceptible...
Welcome to the perils of playing a greedy deck.
Seismic Assault is only hard on the mana if you're also going to run Liliana, since then you need to hit BB, RRR, and at least GG reliably, or if you want to be greedy and run four colors. Also, for...
The lack of Dark Confidant or Sylvan Library in that list is puzzling. The 1/1 tokens are not particularly relevant unless you can kill literally all of your opponent's creatures (not happening) or...
Do you mean Depths + Thespian's Stage? If so, then yes - it's been discussed elsewhere on the site.
