Here is a decklist and I was wondering what justifications should be made to make the deck better in legacy format. I know swords to plowshares would be a must, but anything else?

2 Mistveil Plains
22 Plains
4 Martyr of Sands
2 Divinity of Pride
3 Kitchen Finks
4 Condemn
2 Endless Horizons
3 Idyllic Tutor
4 Wrath of God
1 Rise of the Hobgoblins
4 Unmake
4 Oblivion Ring
2 Story Circle
2 Sacred Mesa
1 Temporal Isolation
SB: 1 Kitchen Finks
SB: 1 Story Circle
SB: 4 Burrenton Forge-Tender
SB: 1 Rule of Law
SB: 4 Sunlance
SB: 1 Porphyry Nodes
SB: 1 Wheel of Sun and Moon
SB: 2 Hallowed Burial

Instead of starting to convert a T2 deck into Legacy, let me just direct you to the general direction of Legacy MWC-decks:
Quinn
Rabid Wombat

They're both pretty solid decks so may as well read up to them and see which direction you like the most (Quinn is probably better - it scoops to combo slightly less). If you really want to start converting that deck into Legacy (as opposed to just beginning from Legacy-basis), start with:
Eternal Dragon
Swords to Plowshares
Abeyance
Wing Shards
Sensei's Divining Top

Then work from there. Seeing that you're already playing an Enchantment-based deck, I'd look at Quinn and work around with Enlightened Tutor-engine, Humility and all that.

Oh yeah, both of the decks are made by Jack Elgins, so if you want to blame someone for the names, just go fight with him over 'em.

Play angelstax with endless horizons.

And the relevant thread for that. 'cause it never hurts to know what and why you're exactly playing. And how to play it. Nobody has incorporated Endless Horizons there though since it seems like a rather bad idea, so methinks a Quinn-build with Horizons/Belcher win would suit your fancy more.
