Need more loam. Fury seems bad since your goal is to keep their hand completely empty. That would be a good place to start. Bridge probably isn't necessary. If you have access I'd suggest liliana
STATISTICS.
All of these "Let's eliminate bad cards" crusades are simply ignorant. And when they start to devolve into "WotC is conspiring to give us crappy cards," they just become embarrassing. MATH is conspiring to give you crappy cards.
A full set of Entombs would do this deck some favors. You can search out your Life from the Loam, Grove of the Burnwillows, Punishing Fire, Wasteland etc..
so i played this at my LGS legacy night and...
I went 3-0 split for first; lost 2 games (hint: always take primeval titan when you thoughtseize).
sadly, waste not was probably the weakest card.
I never cast crucible of worlds, abrupt decay was great and deathrite shaman was very important for early mana fixing.
I promised myself I would make a new deck for every event, so I might come back and tinker with this list eventually...
EDIT: I would drop waste not and the mox diamonds for maybe ensnaring bridge,grim lavamancer and scavenging ooze or 3x tarmogoyf.
Why so few Loams? Is this a meta choice due to prevalence of DRS? Or do you guys just not like Loam or not know how to play Loam properly around disruption? It's an extremely powerful card even without the combo.
Original deck in the tournament ran 7 copies of Loam main. OP has 6. The most recent deck above has only 1!! Where are the Loams?
The "combo" is that you can lock opponent out of the draw phase with Chains + Anvil AND you avoid getting locked out yourself by replacing draws with Loam dredging so Chains doesn't apply for you. Otherwise Chains locks you out too. Loam also helps enable Punishing Fire and breaks the symmetry with Liliana.
Waste Not seems "win more". I wouldn't run it.

i think it would be nice to put in 3 the rack as the win con is mill library and Raging Ravine or may be 1 x nether spirit.
will Raging Ravine complicate nether spirit if both r in graveyard?
may be adding in 4 x mishra's factory and 4 x death rite shaman
