The MD is a pretty stock list of most SnS builds, but if it ain't broke....

Sneak Attack is the card that got me interested in MtG as a game way back in 2006, when an acquaintance lent me a deck to borrow while teaching a group of us how to play the game. It was a BR reanimator/looping deck that used Sneak Attack and Apprentice Necromancer to throw out Phyrexian Colossuss, Avatar of Woe, Keldon Champions and other fatties then sacked them after combat to Attrition or Claws of Gix only to get them back with Coffin Queen or Phyrexian Reclamation. I was enamored by how it worked and thus spawned my love of both Sneak Attack and reanimator strategies in MtG.

Fast forward almost a decade, and when considering on whether or not to get into legacy I come across a competitive deck that uses Sneak Attack! I know then that if there is any legacy deck for me, this is the one. Sneak & Show is fun, capable of playing a giant monster on turn 1, and now that Omniscience is in the deck there is a small chance you can just win on turn 1 (technically your turn 2 due to Emrakul's extra turn trigger).

The nut draw: either sol land (Ancient Tomb or City of Traitors), Lotus Petal, Show and Tell, Omniscience, Griselbrand, Force of Will, any blue card. This start allows you to cast Show and Tell on turn 1 with FoW backup, then after cheating in Omniscience you cast Griselbrand and draw up to 14 cards (plus some since you can cast cantrips for free at this point) to find an Emrakul, the Aeons Torn, cast Emmy for nothing and get the extra turn to then swing in for 22 in the air with annihilator clearing the way.

Thanks for looking! Don't forget to +1!
