Interesting take on the deck. I am not sure if Approach of the Second Sun is a needed win con for the deck with Torment of Hailfire and Sandwurm Convergence, but having access to Fumigate is probably nice. It seems like the Abzan version of the deck has a much worse control match-up, which was my main complaint with Davis' bant approach deck. The straight BG versions have much more hand disruption to work with.
Though I would almost splash white just to play Profane Procession,because that card seems awesome. As far as wildest dreams, I think it's a little slow for a maindeck slot, but in the slower matches you have time to tutor it up with acquisition.
I haven't seen a thread for this deck yet, but it has had two league 5-0s on MTGO and a deck of the day feature on CFB. Anyone else think it has legs? it definitely crushes grixis energy.
I think the deck has some legs. It's certainly very grindy and can be adapted to any meta with the tutor package. There is definitely some discussion to be had about choices of win cons. I have even seen lists that splash blue and red for Bolas and Angrath.
