So this is all about finding and activating Noyan Dar, Roil Shaper. My argument for bant: This allows for some of the best of turbo fog to be its own win condition. White lets you control the hell out of them, and get 3 counters/a creature for every time you shut them down. And green gives you the ramp you need to constantly play more lands (soon to be creatures) while rewarding you with a creature for doing so.

Myth Realized is there as a early blocker/mana sink/alternate win condition.

I'd love advice!
