I'm looking for something aggressive that also has big creatures, but I'm always disappointed at how everything in legacy is based simply around small, uninteresting kniving tactics that more or less ruin the game on the average. I want a deck that actually focuses on creatures and maybe some burn, something like Valakut+elves.
Well that's certainly a good start, but I mean more along the lines of a 8/8. There's still plenty of decks that can run small creatures that inevitably surpass a mere 5/3.
Whoa, one single primeval in the entire deck, I'm so impressed. I'm thinking more along the lines of elves that don't instantly die to burn and delver.
Elves as a combo deck has a lot going for it. Burn as a deck is also pretty good. They both do well in their own ways. However, as a GR deck, it will be hard to win with just big creatures and a bit of removal, even if it is pretty aggressive. You really need some disruption for your opponents (4 null rod is often a good start, though it is meta dependent, such as affinity/tron/artifact based combo). You could try brewing up a list or maybe consider a legacy port of Christmas Beatings from Vintage (a G/R aggressive deck with lots of disruption and tarmogoyf). If you want really big creatures, maybe a wildfire stax list? I am just shooting from the hip with that one, though.
Aggressive and big creatures don't work well together. Since big creatures takes time to play, so you're going to spend most of your early game not being on the offensive but on the defensive. If you want big creatures check out 12 post http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/the-game/legacy-type-1-5/developing-legacy/181890-primer-12-post.
There's a decent monogreen version of it. If you really want to splash red you can throw in pyroclasms or a punishing fire package.

I mean, with that attitude, I'm faintly shocked that anyone bothered to reply. Build your own big creature deck if you're so hell-bent on it.
(also, 3-4 GSZ means you get the titan a lot more frequently than if it were really just a 1-of but since you didn't bother to learn anything about the format before asking people to do your research for you, I guess we can't be surprised that you didn't read what any cards in the deck do)

Here are the little self-imposed guidelines I'm working with for the multiplayer decks I've been building:
• Must be cheap. Total price tag < $100, preferably < $50. Ideally ~$30. No one card greater than about ~$6
• Format: Modern (makes getting the cards somewhat easier for the play group, and almost all my cards are Modern-legal)
• Must be relatively interesting in 1:1 games. I don't need to win against Splinter Twin, but I should be able to play duels now and then
• Avoid instant-win combos; they only serve to make me target #1, and then the deck is worse than useless because I get killed first, every time
• Must have a funny name!

I mean, with that attitude, I'm surprised you chose to reply on a finished topic that you're suprised people commented in while somehow managing to contribute less than nothing to it. Oh wait, actually, that makes sense. No one's forcing you to be here, and both you and the entire community failed to even mention eldrazi or tron decks which can easily be G/R. If you want to pretend to be smart like you have any remote basis for any kind of judgement, I can do it right back.
...the entire community failed to even mention eldrazi or tron decks which can easily be G/R.
Eldrazi has basically zero incentive to go GR instead of colorless because it can run 16 sol lands. Tron is a modern deck that gets outclassed in pretty much every way by 12 post, which is traditionally UG with occasional forays into mono-G or GW and was suggested earlier in the thread. You didn't get those suggestions because they're poor suggestions for legacy based on the meta and you asked for a solid deck.
Nothing is stopping you from brewing up a deck along the lines that you're talking about or modifying an existing deck (like post) to be GR and you can probably get help on it from a variety of sources. Just be aware that the kinds of decks you're describing typically don't do well in legacy, which is why they don't see much play.

Elves has a fairly positive match up against both Burn and Delver.
