Removal still poses a big problem for this deck.

In:

Devoted Caretaker

Out:

Condemn

I never really needed to use Condemn anyways. T4 or T5 is about when threats come out, but infinite elves can just kill them. The only thing not covered was T2 and T1, but nothing of importance happens then.

IRunOutOfCounters: I know you may run out of counters and removal, but legacy players won't, unfortunately. Making this legacy playable would take a much more experienced player than myself.

Brushland and other cheap dual lands may be good, but I am trying to see the very cheapest a decent/good deck can be.

TreeCat: If you want to buy this deck, I should tell you this has a problem with removal. Luckily, I found a large amount of anti-removal:

Vines of Vastwood

Rebuff the Wicked

Avoid Fate

Mana Tithe

Dawn Charm

Bathe in Light (versus Volcanic Fallout ] and Pyroclasm )

Autumn's Veil (counterspells)

I thought I built budget decks lol. I don't think I'd build it myself, but it looks really cool. +1 man.

This combo has been around forever, nothing new about it, +1 for effort.

GamerSonX: This combo might not be new, but the fact that this deck costs hardly more than $20 midprice and is as consistent as it is is new.

Also, there are no other decks on T/O that have the Presence of Gond + Sunstrike Legionnaire combo.

I am only concerned with competitive decks, they are indeed sick combos for sure, however if you were to make this competitive, it would fall into the legacy format, which, it would not survive against any legacy competitive deck out there to date. I still gave you a +1 because it is one of my favorite combo, even though it is a casual deck which, lets face it, most casual decks on here are just sad lol

Thanks for the +1.

Actually, most of the "casual" decks here are actually good because all the true casual decks are labeled as vintage or legacy.

This deck is not just a sad casual deck. Playtesting, I just randomly took on a $600 8Rack Modern deck and won. Pretty easily. I know this deck is nowhere near legacy competitive, but it can totally wreck modern and standard decks. I have tried to beat this several times with There is No Kill Like Overkill: Elves (which inspired a deck with 100 upvotes btw) and my Gruul Monsters standard deck that I haven't posted. It didn't work.
