Shardless Bug now lacks it's strongest source of advantage against most other decks; cheap card draw. So long as Treasure Cruise and Dig Through Time are both legal in Legacy, setting up Shardless Agent into Ancestral Vision is kind of lackluster. Until any potential ban, all the Shardless Bug players can do is just sit around goldfishing cascades.

Make sure you proxy cards before actually investing in them. Legacy can get expensive...
With that being said, StoneBlade is the stronger deck.

I agree that stoneblade is sronger and i love control but from me experience every time i play control i lose, and i have yet to lose with some of my aggro and midrange modern decks (affinity/big zoo). so iv decided to stick to the aggro/midrange side of the spectrum

Well, there's 
/
/X which is strong. There's also Goblins, Elves, Zoo, 12 Post, Affinity, and Red Deck Wins.

I know it's cheesy but I like 
delver (only thing is the Force of Will
s and Volcanic Island
s are about $1200-$1500 for a full set of both) but if you proxy them the rest of the deck is cheep

Legacy Affinity lists aren't much different, albeit more potent, than their Modern counterparts. The traditional lists are much like Modern without Steel Overseer , add the artifact lands ala Seat of the Synod etc., and Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas .
Since you have the Modern deck, rolypolyguy, I would suggest you pick up the cards for the Legacy version, as it's not much more.

Hell the vintage version isn't much more costly than the legacy version, just needs Tolarian Academy and if you got them the relavent power 9 cards which arent a requiremeny

Build what you're going to have more fun playing. Which deck better suits your style of play. Personally, I'd go Deathblade.
