This Is my elf deck that I'm thinking about taking to legacy tourney, I don't know if it would last that long so I need some input. Cards are based on a budget of what I have been able to buy.

You need {Titania's Priest}. You need {Titania's Chosen}.

Amongst others I can't think of off the top of my head.

You mean {priest of Titania}?

My honest opinion is this a cool casual deck but will struggle in competitive legacy against $2000+ decks.

But you should still go and test the meta.  You may learn some things too ;)

Elvish piper isn't necessary, heritage Druid nettle sentinel and glimpse of nature will work wonders with swarming the board with elves.    Might want to think about a combo with staff of Domination and hurricane.  If u have a priest of Titania or elvish archdruid and 4 other elves on the field u can use the staff to get infinite mana infinite draws and infinite life.

Also, you need one more card in your sideboard.

Thank you guys for your input. I'm hesitant to play with it as it is mostly a casual deck and not really meant for fast tournament play, especially legacy format.
I was trying to get a feel if it would be competitive enough for a tournament, but it seems like it could use some work.
Most of the people that play use Canadian threshold or some form of a sneak & show type deck, so I will most likely get clobbered. But you know, what's the worst that could happen right? You win some, you lose some

{Timberwatch Elf}
{Heedless One}
{Imperious Perfect}
are some good elf staple cards that should be budget sensitive.
