Yeah, aren't the colored artifact lands legal in legacy?

They are.  {Ancient Den} is another option and good for side boarded  {Ethersworn Canonist}!

{Mox Opal} would be good. {Etherium Sculptor} is perfect. The Master is good, but the Sculpter can be devastating.

Already had the opals, but added the sculptor.

How do you guys feel about {scour glass}?

You're splashing a little too much at that point.

You did say casualish so it could be fun.

I do want to mention, I played this religiously in legacy quite often and played U/B.

I don't recommend any more planeswalkers as they would just slow everything down. You have many win cons as it is. The biggest being {Cranial Plating} and {Tezerat, Agent of Bolas} being your backup.

I reccomend either {Doomblade} or as I've tested {Go for the Throat} is effective for creature removal.

Throwing in a few {Counterspell}s in as well helps defend against board whipes and the like.

I just would suggest having sb tech for graveyard based decks.  {Tormod's Crypt},  {Nihil Spellbomb}, and  {Relic of Progenitus} all fit very well. I would also suggest having  {Leyline of Sanctity} and  a way to make creatures uncounterable to help.
