My reservation here is that this would basically be a modern GAT, but without a broken draw/filter engine. In other words, it would be very draw dependent, reliant on Dark Confidant, and in serious danger of being outmatched by other decks following the same strategy (Fast Fae decks, Bant, etc.). It would have plenty of power and resilience, but I would guess it would have trouble with faster aggro decks, trouble with its mana, and trouble managing its life total without White.
It could work, but it would be very dependent on the metagame and would need a lot of fine-tuning.
I didn't mean to be discouraging, I'm just trying to point out a potentially dangerous flaw.

I have seen a few decks like this, and generally beat them pretty easily.
I think the problem is that, because there aren't as many alternative duel lands and the speed with which you need all 3 colors, you need to run a fetch-shock heavy manabase which will often deal 3-8 damage to you over the course of the game. Combine that with Dark Confidant, and you're trivially easy prey for any Boros, fast Affinity or Zoo, or Storm Combo decks you might come across.
