A deck that was built during the sealed prerelease weekend that I decided to try and make into a standard deck that will be playable for FNM. Unfortunately for me, the deck is way to slow as it relies on opening drake haven and even then you can't start making drakes until turn 4. The other option is to grind it out until turn 5 by building up time counters on As Foretold, but once again, you're sitting out turn 3/4 and against vehicles you have no option but to take the loss. So anything good for hanging out the early game, even introducing a third colour sounds like a great option to give this deck the push it needs to make it competitive.
