I've just returned from the first FNM with this line up, and things went well! I went 3-1-1 which was just out of prize-range, but I think the best both I and the deck have performed. I even managed to snag one game against Storm (though I lost the match).

Razorverge Thicket works just fine as the fourth dual land, so I'm dropping the idea of Wooded Bastion

What I'm now debating is what the best 2-drop is. Knight of the White Orchid does decent work as ramp when on the draw, but is next to useless on the play. Instead, I'm considering Thalia, Guardian of Thraben or Tocatli Honor Guard . The former seems good against burn and storm, while the second would be excellent against Spirits and Soul Sisters. Any feedback on that issue is most appreciated :)
