This is a link to a colourless Eldrazi deck that I have been making over the past couple days. I just noticed Sol Ring is banned in Legacy and restricted in Vintage. So my main question is: why does it say at the bottom and on the right side, that my deck is Vintage legal, when that's obviously not the case? Secondary questions, since I obviously have to take it out, any good replacements? Any other suggestions for the deck in general?
Maybe Worn Powerstone? It's not as good, but similar.

Have you considered switching to another format? Your deck seems like it'd be better in Modern or EDH. Skullclamp and Sol Ring are both banned in Legacy. You also don't have Mox Sapphire, Mana Crypt, et al in the deck for it to be really good for Vintage.
You have all of the expensive cards for Mono-Brown Tron. My suggestion would be to convert the deck to a similar version of that link where you take your own spin on it. Adding in MindStone, Dimir Signet/Talisman of Progress etc. makes for an interesting and competitive deck you could take to tournaments and actually find people to play with.

Hey mate your decks look like you've thought them through fairly well, though not fast enough maybe I'd recomend researching the legacy and modern metas and making appropriate changes to the decks, always good to see people thinking up new ideas :)

Hey thanks everyone. Just to clarify maybe, I don't really play in any Legacy, Vintage, or Modern tournaments. I just play these formats cause I got sick of losing to my friends in Standard. Lol. Also, I'm trying to make semi-budget decks, which is why I'm not buying Mox Sapphire and Mana Crypt. I know that to be competitive in Legacy and Modern I have to have these cards. I just want to rek any Standard decks, and have fun doing it with crazy, cool, and unique decks, which I feel you can't really do in Standard, and in some cases Modern, due to the limited card pool.

In that case, I'd just ask what your friends are comfortable playing against. Some people won't mind if your deck has four Sol Rings, four Mana Vaults, and a Tolarian Academy and will happily play you with a Standard deck. Others will pick up their cards and leave.

I'd also say that's a tad unfair it's like bringing a tank to a battle between Knights if you got a proper legacy deck or most modern decks against standard :P

No, we're the type of group that sticks to the rules. Arguments over a rule end in either us looking it up or friendships being broken. Also, these aren't proper Legacy decks, they're bad for legacy and modern, but good when compared to standard.

I think that it's because the database doesn't check for specific numbers of cards, just whether they're legal in that format.
