Looks evil.

Literally unstabalizable once he gets running, none of our creatures can land unless we have some sick removal or counter the stones and orbs.

I hate Winter Orb. :-) That being said consider Rakdos Cackler instead of Goblin Cohort and Legion loyalist instead of Raging goblin maybe. Also Thalia would be brutal with Winter Orb, but you would have to replace token makers with creature spells.
Interesting deck.

Yeah, add Thailia! This is just another example of a deck that makes your opponents want to forfeit :D

I'm iffy about adding Thalia because I'm trying to grind the opponent's attacker's rate to zero, and Thalia only works for non-creatures.

But it would slow them down from using other spells to destroy your artifacts, and then attack.

I guess, I'll put her in instead of some of my token generators

I would not combine the two strategies, choose one:
A) with 3-4 copies of Thalia and as few noncreature spells as possible - leaving probably only Path to Exile in deck; Imposing Sovereign (new from M14) instead of Blind Obedience, and various 1 or 2 CMC creatures instead of all token makers. (Isamaru is great choice for example)
B) as it was: no Thalia and several token makers.
Now you have 13 noncreature spells and Thalia would slow you down a lot.

I wanted to keep the second option, no Thalia. I just wanted to see how she would fit in, but I guess not.

gather the townsfolk is better than raise the alarm, if you're okay with it being a sorcery.

I suggest some Pillar of flame and Searing spear.

If it needs removal, then I suggest Path to Exile. The drawback is very ironic with Winter Orb. :-)

That's true, I'll put it in. Thanks for the suggestion, since it's always good to have removal in a weenie deck in case a creature gets around my lock.

Ah, a Winter Orb deck. I've been planning one of these, but I would be taking a much different approach. I'd be using rather old cards that I have available to me, and I think it may actually work.
A lovely piece of art you have here. Shutting down the enemy while you slowly kill them with low-cost creatures. Such a shame that tapping no longer "turns off" artifacts. That used to be a key element in Winter Orb decks.

I suggest gather the townsfolk instead of raise the alarm. More possibilities ;)

You could use Mogg War Marshal instead of Dragon Fodder if you decide to include Thalia.

You may have to worry about assemble the legion.

if they manage to untap 5 lands 2 get it out. If it does get out, how do you recommend I deal with it

Maybe a 1 of Wear//Tear? It could also help hit any artifact mana ramping.

I added in 2 just in case, thanks.

It would probably work better as a sideboard. It's a super bad draw when the player isn't playing anything you can kill, or that would threaten you like Assemble.

You may also have to worry about Naya Blits maybe, if people still run it, they could probably out race you.

then again, I don't know if people actually run naya based decks much in legacy.

I made a freeze sideboard for my quick deadly sacrificing vampire deck. Maybe you might be interested in these two cards.

Tangle Wire and Ensnaring Bridge

Play 2-3 Isamaru, better than Savannah Lions.

Since he is a legendary, I'm putting in 2 of him and leaving in 2 lions. Thanks for the suggestion.
