Maybe Elspeth should be worth testing as planeswalkers are so broken and i'd try playing with oran rief. It given advantaje on goyf vs. goyf and makes the finks even harder to kill

Just got back from a local legacy tournament playing the deck. It's still under construction, but I did well against a number of serious decks and ended up taking second place, going 3-1 in four rounds of swiss.
The list I played follows. Obviously, it is missing a bunch of cards that I wish I owned, but here it is:
Creatures: 18
1x Progenitus
4x Birds of Paradise
3x Wall of Roots
3x Spiritmonger
3x Yavimaya Elder
4x Kitchen Finks
Spells: 21
4x Natural Order
4x Pernicious Deed
4x Smother
4x Duress
4x Hymn to Tourach
1x Sensei's Divining Top
Lands: 21
4x Verdant Catacombs
3x Overgrown Tomb
4x Llanowar Wastes
3x Treetop Village
4x Forest
3x Swamp
Sideboard:
4x Krosan Grip
4x Relic of Progenitus
2x Cabal Therapy
1x Empyrial Archangel
1x Terastodon
3x Diabolic Edict
vs. Dredge 2 - 1
First game. I play. I NO for Progenitus on turn three, before he has a chance to go off. I board out discard, and board in Relic of Progenitus. Game two. He plays. He goes off on turn two and kills me while I'm still still fussing around with a birds and a top. Game three. I play. We both mulligan to six. This is our longest game. He can't get anything together, and I beat him down with a combination of Spiritmonger and Kitchen Finks, and win around turn 6 -7.
vs. Vampires (?) 2 - 0
He's not playing a competitive deck. Over two games he plays only bad mana fixing artifacts and single vampire lacerator.
vs. UWB Fish 2 - 0.
Game one. I play, and mulligan down to six. He keeps. He plays Jotun Grunt, Dark Confidant, Serra Avenger, while I play birds, Yavimaya elder, wall of roots. He plays a jitte. I play a deed, he stifles it. I topdeck another one, sweep the board, and then draw a natural order a turn later. Game two goes largely like the first, except that I draw progenitus on my second or third turn. I natural order for a spirit monger, which he swords. I hardcast another, and he has no answers.
vs. Naya 1 - 2.
Game one. I make the mistake of keeping an expensive hand with two lands. He plays first turn Noble Hierarch, second turn woolly thoctar, third turn BBE cascading into Dauntless escort, all before I draw a third land. Second game. I get NO off on the third turn, gg. Third game. He keeps. I mulligan down to five, and keep a hand with two forests, and three black cards. He does his thing, slower than the first game, but faster than I can cast more than a couple spells.
Overall I think I would call the night a sucess, except for in the 12 eldrazi packs I won, three of the rares were mortician beetles.
