Looks like it should be in casual.

Believe it or not it's a legitimate deck and was doing pretty well at an SCG event. So far it only has a lot of trouble with elves.

I could explain how the deck works if you want me to

This is a real Legacy deck, called "Leyline Deck Wins". Essentially, you drop as many leylines as you can (after aggressively mulliganning with {Serum Powder}), drop {Serra's Sanctum} and then {Opalescence}. Untap, beat with leylines, win. Granted this isn't an optimized version, it is still a semi-competitive Legacy deck.

Yeah I know it's not an optimised version. It's been running well though. Just can't beat elves

Yeah, pretty cool idea. Also does well against burn, dredge, ANT, and a few others because of the main deck hate cards  {Leyline of the Void},  {Leyline of Sanctity}.

Dafaq is wrong with legacy for this to be a thing?
Think about it: you drop a bunch of leylines into play (that they can't counter, just begin in play). You have {Leyline of Sanctity} and {Leyline of the Void} against combo. You drop a turn 1 {Serra's Sanctum} and turn 2 land, making you practically immune to soft counters when dropping your {Opalescence} and if you get {Force of Will}ed, you use tutors to find another one. {Supression Field} can come down T1 locking your opponent out of lands potentially and if you lose {Serra's Sanctum} you can use {Petrified Field} to get it back. Being in white gives you a lot of sideboard options, like {Oblivion Ring} against Show and Tell and if you run a really streamlined version of the deck (meaning like 5 lands), you can even board in {Goblin Charbelcher} potentially getting a turn 2 or 3 win. The deck has potential to ambush a meta and can get you a lot of game ones out of pure confusion. The biggest problem with the deck is sideboarding. What do you run? From what I have seen people try either things way out of left field or just board in a Stoneblade package. I really like your idea of {Mana Confluences} mainboard, I haven't seen it before. Suggestion: cut {Plains} and play {City of Brass}, then SB or MB {Pact of Negation}s. Lastly, I have been debating making this deck, and I would love to hear your thoughts on it, especially sideboard wise.

Oh, and why {Helm of Obedience}?

LOL, and tutorable with {Enlightened Tutor}, that's great. Another thing I would like to suggest: {Gemstone Caverns} to turn 0 {Crop Rotation}--->{Serra's Sanctum}. {Privileged Position} and {Sterling Grove} also provide protection. Lastly, {Chancellor of the Annex} was a 4 of in a SCG top 8 sideboard, a cool idea against counterspells.

I know how it works, and seems like a really good deck.  But seriously?  An all leyline deck?  So stupid!
Yeah....andmilling yourself then saccing flying jellyfish to reanimate an angel so you can tap a maniac and win isn't....that's legacy for you.

Hey!  I didn't play that style!  I played the flayer-grave troll version.  Either way it doesn't seem as stupid as this.

What's more stupid, playing Leylines or getting beat down by animated Leylines? You be the judge.

This is way less casual than most of the other budget stuff posted here, so it belongs. Real enough deck, though it may be softer to force than Enchantress.

I believe a list similar to this was featured at an SCG open a week or two ago, it stomped some D+T build from what I remember.

Yep. I noticed that a couple days ago and saw my legacy deck coming in to relevancy
