After this new rules change.
my guess for going up.
1. jace
2. vendillion clique
3. jitte
4. thespian stage
5. dark depths
down
1. griselbrand
2. emrukhal
I think the primary gainer is Dark Depths, it can be splashed in like every single colour and tutored with Expedition Map which is also colourless.
Flagstones? Mox Opal? Gaeas Cradle? Liliana?
Pretty much legendary that was once bad in multiples will probably go up.
IMHO, most of the cards you listed are arguably not much better than they were a few hours ago.
Much better:
1. Depths
2. Stage
Much worse:
1. Phyrexian Metamorph
I don't follow the logic that Jace, Jitte, etc. are much more useful than before. Often times, pwning your opponent's ____ (insert legend here) is preferred over landing your own. Yes, you can get double Jace activations, double Clique triggers, etc... but those usually aren't very strong plays.
Lets watch:

Primary legacy deck High Tide primer
Why would those cards care AT ALL about the changes? Dark Depths doesnt get one bit better... Dark Depths werent being legendruled by opponents before and having the ability to replace one DD with another is also not an upside on DD, compared to cradle for example...
Thespian Stage got worse cause you cant kill Academy Ruins and Karakas with it anymore and theres no added upside unless you combine it with cradle, which is just not worth it. Both of these cards arent affected by the changes in the slightest...
Let's face is: Green now has the best Dark Ritual in the game. 4 Gaea's Cradle in Elves all the way!
The seven cardinal sins of Legacy:
1. Discuss the unbanning ofLand TaxEarthcraft.
2. Argue that banning Force of Will would make the format healthier.
3. Play Brainstorm without Fetchlands.
4. Stifle Standstill.
5. Think that Gaea's Blessing will make you Solidarity-proof.
6. Pass priority after playing Infernal Tutor.
7. Fail to playtest against Nourishing Lich (coZ iT wIlL gEt U!).
With the Flagstone change, I can see Dust Bowl rising as well since running 4 Flagstones has become alot better.
And everybody loves "free" (assuming you have 4 mana) Wasteland uses.
1. Cradle (It's Not Elves-exclusive)
2. Liliana of the Veil (Even more)
3. Mox Opal (affinity, Storm Combo)
4. Dark Depths (See 5)
5. Thespian's Stage (See 4)
6. Karakas
7. vendilion Clique
8. phantasmal Image (Pure win with/against Cliques/Emrakul/Griselbrand/S&T/Stoneforge-mirror/Geist)
all up

I dont expect to see prices change much. But Jitte will be even worse :(
Got tired of Legacy and you like drafts? Try my Paupercube What?
I don't want to imagine those upcoming ugly Jitte wars. I guess in that respect - Abrupt Decay becomes even more important against any Deck packing SFM.
Clique is going to go up. It was already on the rise and will rise even more. Gaea's Cradle risks getting banned. Depths / Stage is going to be relevant for MUD. Sol Lands activate Thespian Stage quicker, and Crucible of Worlds mean that you can keep summoning 20/20's regardless of StP. Regular decks can't really afford to run lands that don't tap for mana. That combo might also be relevant for turbo emrakul but I am not knowledgable enough about that deck. What I do know is that Thespian Stage can copy locus, and that it runs expedition map, so splashing a Dark Depths seems to fit the plan of 'get big guy into play quickly'.
The Dark Depths combo with Thespian's Stage is heavy!
I currently see mainly the following going up:
Jace, the Mind Sculptor
Liliana of the Veil
Dark Depths
Thespian's Stage
Gaea's Cradle
Phyrexian Metamorph might go down a little bit, but it is already in relatively low prices, so it doesn't matter.
EDIT: Vesuva doesn't work.
