The problem with your ideal is you could just be dead at that point to a number of decks.
how many modern decks kill T3-T4?
Affinity, infect, and twin are very capable, especially when you're not disrupting them. Not to mention until turns 5 to 6 you can't cast walkers without fear of opposing counter magic and rock decks can tear apart your hand. I just think it's not wise to have a deck with no real play before turn 4.

I understand what you're saying here. But my Bant list has beaten Storm, Infect, Burn and Tron. It's a very powerful deck when it gets going, and with good ramp that's turn three. I don't think this list is as resilient but it is doable. Adding white adds a ton to the deck IMO. I made a Simic list and I'm less impressed by it.

Twin is my biggest fear from that group you listed.  A +1 on jace would negate infinite exarch but would not stop a loss from pestermite Cuz 2 power.  A fog would buy me a turn I suppose and then I could +1 Tamiyo to tap down the guy with twin.

The big question is will I survive to those turns to play walkers to answer their threats and kinda think the answer is more yes than no.  They either focus on killing walkers which buys me more time to cast more walkers and set up combos or they focus on me and maybe my walkers deal with their threats.  Idk really....just need to find time to playtest.  I just do not want to rule the idea out entirely

Updated to add (3) mana leak and (1) snapcaster for some early control.  I also changed out BoP for Sakura tribe elder.  Still in the funsy stage and I will try to pilot this at Modern FNM next Friday 5/8.  The meta is semi-competitive and there are some funsy type decks and some noobs trying to play with $20 decks.
