Siege-, well, this is a good time to learn. =)

A "format" is basically a set of rules about what cards you can play and how many of them. The formats are mostly gated chronologically -- which is important, because the "older" a format is, the more broken cards it has access to. "Legacy" has a cut-off of, basically, "None, any card ever printed is legal... which means we have access to recent losers like Merfolk of the Depths, sure, but also suuuper-powerful cards that cost four figures (Tropical Island, Ancestral Recall)." And when you say your deck is in the Legacy format, you're saying, "Yeah, I want my deck to be considered alongside decks with those kinds of cards," which... might be misleading. =)

Your deck is Modern-legal, meaning it only uses cards that were printed after the game's first ten years. (Any Modern-legal deck is, by definition, also Legacy-legal, but that still doesn't mean they can compete with each other.) It's also close to being Pioneer-legal (meaning it only uses cards that were printed after the game's first twenty years), though you'd have to give up Treefolk Umbra and I know you're attached to that. You're not required to make it compliant to any format, particularly since you and your friends clearly play using house rules; I'm simply trying to help you understand what claims you're currently making.

Two cards I would advise you: Generous Gift and Growth Spiral. Both would fit in nicely.
