Hi i'm new to mtg salvation and legacy and I've always wanted to make a deck with nantuko tracer in it but the only deck i could find the card verdant succession isn't on xmage which is how i play magic these days. if anyone could be bothered to help me come up with any ideas that could have a deck with nantuko tracer in it and possibly a combo? im a noob sorry for the noobish post
Not sure entirely what your question is but i'll try to answer it anyway.
Tracer is simply not a legacy card. It gets rid of one card while for one more mana, there's a card that gets rid of them all. Or there's Tormod's Crypt. Or Relic of Progenitus. Or DRS. The list goes on and on, but Tracer is just not good enough. It is a common though, so you could try out a Pauper deck with it. As for Verdant Succession, it is too expensive outside some sort of casual deck, provided you can't win the game with it on the spot somehow. As for your problem with XMage, you could try Untap.in as an alternative.
I could see it as being grave hate against a reanimator or dredge deck or using it in combination for a creature you can fetch from your deck, but it would have to combo with some other mechanism in your deck, likely tribal insect druids which doesn't have a strong enough creature base. If you want to use it to make undead creatures, well there's already better cards for that like vengevine or gravecrawler.
EDIT: I guess there is a fringe possibility it could be used in a maverick deck as grave hate since you can use it with green sun's zenith. It would be more reliable than hoping you draw something like tormod's crypt.
