My suggestions on the matter.
Elvish Flower
Creature - Elf
When Elvish Plower comes into play, put target land on top of its owner's library
2/1
Wise Hermit
Creature - Druid
Fading 3
Players cannot play more than one noncreature spells per turn.
0/2
She said, "You're broken."
"So is your face." replied the Tarmogoyf.
Also, while the Green ritual would be nothing but trouble, what if their were similar fast mana effects that could only be used to cast summon spells? Could that be abused by combo (Gamekeeper maybe)?
Hmmm.
Or how about a X. Swarm like creature that prevented the opponent from going off the next turn if it connected?

Very Loudly Buzzing But Only On Your Opponents Turn Swarm
G
Flying Whenever Very Loudly Buzzing But Only On Your Opponents Turn Swarm attacks name a card, Defending player cannot play the named card during their next turn.
I think the name is too long, they are never going to make a card like that.
I suppose we could always take "Intellectual Property Rights" and make it into an actual green card.
Nature's Singularity
Enchantment
Cards, permanents, and spells can't be copied.
Shuts down Storm, Isochron Scepter, Twincast, and that ever obnoxious Clone that's aimed at your Tarmogoyf. Or...something.
Green Ritual which said spend this mana only on creature spells (possibly on green creature spells) would actually be good and not so broken. On other hand why would it be more broken than Dark Ritual as is?
Metamorphosis + Free creatures (Skyshroud cutter + Vine dryad)
The green ritual would fit amazingly into CRET belcher over dark ritual.
Magus of the Woods
Human Wizard
When Magus of the Woods comes into play, name a land card.
The named land gains Dredge 1 and Cycling .
2/3
What does that Magus replicate? I feel dumb for even asking.
Good Green Creature
Each time an opponent plays a spell targetting you or a creature you control, draw a card.
1/1
Magus of the Compost
Whenever a black card goes to an opponent's graveyard, you may draw a card.
3/2
It's not replicating anything, that's the only shit name I could come up with.
EDIT: Is there a magus for sylvan library?
Sylvan Etchings
Sorcery
Draw a card, then draw a card for each card named Sylvan Etchings in all graveyards.
Forestcycling
EDIT 2: Call "Magus of the Woods" something like "Thicket Elder."
Gaea's Meddle
Instant
You may remove a green card in your hand from the game rather than pay Gaea's Meddle's mana cost.
Counter target activated or triggered ability.
Honestly, I think the reason any color is broken/not broken in Legacy has to do with individual generic overpowered cards. Look at it this way:
White:
STP/Condemn
Black:
Duress
Hymn
Blue:
Force of Will
Brainstorm
Red:
Lightning Bolt (maybe?)
Green:
Nothing
First off, please note, this card list is off the top of my head. You'll notice pretty much every card on that list is old. They're staples if you're playing that color (and not playing combo), or close to. Sure, green doesn't have this, which does make it somewhat subpar, but not necessarily a terrible color.
Let's face it, Legacy is a creature format. For this reason, colors that can deal well with creatures tend to be the dominant ones. This makes white and black, and to a lesser extent red, top dogs here.
So what? Who cares? Green is not underpowered, it's just underpowered in the current Legacy meta. Do I think wizards should correct this? No! I think wizards should build cards based on what each color is designed to do. Each has its strengths and weaknesses, and there's really no reason to change that.
By the way, combo is growing now. When this happens, white will be just as bad as green in this respect. Everyone knows their combo tools tend to be sub-par. The two strongest colors are those with generic hate, or black and blue. Once again, I'm OK with this, as that hate tends to be sub-par to specific hate in a more generic field.
Anyways, what's my point? Why does green need to be changed? Why not red (which is just as bad as mono-green outside of goblins, and I don't think that counts, as it's almost a combo deck)? Green has its strengths, and it does them very well ala krosan grip and naturalize.

Far less retarded than force of will, though.
Can anyone explain how Pernicious Deed fits into green? I have never understood.
I've thought of this often, having rocked the shit out of a green deck, but scooping to combo (see TMLO:II day 1, top 8).
hmm... I really like the idea of a cost enchantment that works as ivory mask, even if it has fading 3 (coughreplenishcough). Maybe something like the leyline idea, with a more restrictive cost. Maybe 4, and fading four. That way you'd have to mull into it, or have accelleration (BOP, Utopia sprawl, Mana Bond, ETC) to power it out before tendrils/brain freeze gets out there. Also, it'd be good to be an enchantment, so it doesn't die to creature removial (Platnium angel), but is still open to removal that should be played. And it can be bounced, so decks that don't have enchantment destruction will be able to bounce it. Get to mark Rosewater; I'll wait.
To be remotely balanced, it should say name a non-basic land card...as this plus a deck full of forests is not right....or whichever basic land you are running a ton of as it currently is a splashable card with only a single in the cc. Quite frankly, to be fair (and not sucked up by all the colors as good green has been throughout recorded history) unless these creatures are 1cc, they should all have at a minimum in the cc.
TL,DR: if you think Saito is ok, check your moral compass. It may be broken. - Spikey Mikey, amen brother
WE know what the price of progress is (often 8-10 life). - Cait Sith
A casual stasis deck? You must not really like your friends. Do you play it before or after you pull the wings off of flys and microwave the neighbor's cat? - EwokSlayer
Don't know if it was said, but Tarmogoyf. A color can't do everyting. And this thing does Green's thing absurdly well.What do you suggest or design?
