Can I affect the board before the payoff?
A creature that immediately replaces itself keeps your creature count high for Heroes and teamwork without emptying your hand.
Do my actual cards enable this plan?

Your deck already enables the plan but is losing the early turns.

Hero, Soldier and nontoken are different requirements. Read each payoff rather than assuming every white token works.
The support is missing
Favor independently useful creatures and interaction if the narrow support does not arrive.
Repeated useful cards are clues, not proof that the colors are open.

|---|---|---|
| When Black Panther, Vanguard is already in your pool, pair useful support such as Hero in Training with the early play or answer your deck still lacks. Two rewards alone do not supply the support. | With one pick, fill the missing early play, answer or support card before adding another narrow payoff. The plan must work without drawing its key card. | Compare complete builds from the cards you opened. Keep the castable curve and interaction even if the draft theme is only partly supported. |
