You should really take this to the legacy or casual forums, I'm thinking more casual than anything. I also want to give you your first suggestion and cut it down to 60 cards.
I'd say go for Mono W control. It's cheap(ish) to build, and can contend with the better decks in the format. Also it opens you up to playing UW standstill or gives you some pieces for stax. Or you can play Pox, it's cheap to build and is a good deck.
If you want to go for tribal I say go for Goblins, or Elves. For someone new to legacy I say go for elves, it's explosive and awesome.
The new lifegain guy is so osm, i see a healving salve combo coming
How'd royal go today? Did the Asian constituent come back
