Amonkhet gods + Drop of Honey/Porphyry Nodes/Pestilence/Tabernacle = repeatable board wipe. They keep Drop/Nodes/Pestilence alive, and have unfairly high power for avoiding Drop/Nodes targetting, unlike other indestructibles.

Single Card Discussion

Drop of Honey is great for shutting down True-Name Nemesis, Young Pyromancer, Leovold, Emissary of Trest, Mother of Runes, Reality Smasher, Gurmag Angler, Monastery Mentor and the value creatures generally rampant in Legacy. As previously mentioned, the primary synergy is that Rhonas keeps Drop alive forever and is larger than most creatures.

Gurmag Angler is big enough to hide behind Rhonas for Drop, evades Toxic Deluge, and is just a great creature all around

Heart of Kiran dodges Drop, works amazingly with planeswalkers, and can activate or be activated by Rhonas!

Sylvan Library, Mirri's Guile, and Night's Whisper are necessary due to the scarcity of card advantage without using creatures

Rhonas, Oketra, and Bontu all synergize well with each other. Playing Bontu immediately activates Rhonas. If there are two other creatures, pumping Oketra will animate Rhonas, which then animates Oketra with 5/6 double strike, trample. Oketra gives sacrifice fodder for Bontu.

Sometimes we just win the game if the opponent doesn't have exile or enchantment removal for Worship.

Since Porphyry Nodes is available in green, I figured we could cut white, giving us additional consistency and letting us play more manlands.

I'm not yet sure if it was the right choice since we lose Swords to Plowshares and the card advantage from Stoneforge Mystic. It might actually make sense to splash into blue, for much better card advantage/filtering.
