Possibly even Vial activation for Flickerwisp in our upkeep to take out one of our lands if the game drags.
Also, casting a Burning Wish for SnT, then passing the turn opens us up to black spot discard spells, and if the opponent brings in a bunch of Surgical Extraction post sideboard, that can get very nasty very quickly.
Your success with a 3 color build will be very much local meta dependant.
