You seem to have a pretty sophisticated grasp of the format for a very new player. I'd echo what the others are saying. If you're serious about legacy in the long term, snatch up the reserved list staples as fast as tour budget will allow. Focus primarily on the blue stuff and wastelands. Wait for the upcoming fetchland reprint, and get them while they're low. Other than that, just bide your time. Unless you have a lot of money lying around, this will take a while, but the delayed gratification will pay off big time. Until then, slowly put together workable decks (maybe start with ur delver), and borrow for tournaments if possible. If other legacy players see that you are making a serious commitment to the format, they will be more likely to help you on the way (trust me, I've seen people alledgedly looking into legacy, but all they seemed to do is complain about prices and never actually acquire the cards.). Good luck, and enjoy magic's best format.
I like your enthusiasm for legacy, and your desire to brew. Rather than a sideboard tweek, you may want to consider this deck's role in the format. It's very much an all-in combo deck without much protection (force, discard), but it looks like it plays out a little slow. Combo decks without much interaction need to aim for turn 1/2 kills, or they will not only be vulnerable to force, but also faster combos. Because you can combo with two lands, you have some resilience to counters, but are still vulnerable to wateland and swords.
If you like this type of combo deck you may want to check out belcher. It's a pretty cheap deck. It needs four leds, but they can be used to build a lot of combo decks. This is a fast combo deck that puts up decent tournament results. At the very least it will demonstrate the format dynamic I discussed.
If you enjoy the dark depths combo, you will likely need to add some more interaction. I've been tinkering with the combo myself, but have it in the roll of control finisher. If you're interested, we can compare notes. I'm thinking of using a blue force/brainstorm control shell that uses intuition for loam/depths/stage as a compact, but slow and inevitable combo. I've toyed with exploration and counterbalance packages.
Let me know what you think. I sincerely hope my advice is not stifling to your creativity. The last thing I want would be to discourage brewing in my favorite format.
