You can't use a two drop though. You need 3 one mana spells with an oil counter, and 3 correct untapped lands in order to turn 3 this guy. More than likely this is going to be a double spell on turn 4/5 which is still very good though.

The Monumental Facade can make it work much more easily. Every great draft strategy relies on rare lands, right?

Yes, I was merely pointing out that there are plenty of low-cost permanents which etb with oil counters in those colors. Even if as late as turn 5, I don't want to see that come down onto my opponent's battlefield, especially if I don't have Rebel Salvo in hand.
Though take into account that using The Monumental Facade essentially costs 1 to move an oil counter.
Should still work, though.
T1: Land, one-drop with oil counter
T2: The Monumental Facade, tap to move an oil counter on to the land from T1 (three permanents with oil counters on them already), then you can also plop down another one-drop with an oil counter if you have it.
T3: drop another land, play this guy for 1RG, or potentially even RG without an extra land drop. It's not really Magic Christmasland.

Facade can't hit (nonartifact, noncreature) lands, so you need a one drop with oil and either a one drop without oil or a one or two drop with oil.

Yeah, but a 5/5 on turn 5 is a pretty standard creature at this point. Untamed Kavu is another uncommon that I would say is just outright better. Although to be fair the actual removal in this limited format seems worse than average so a 5/5 beat stick may just be a huge problem.

Spoiler EditorThe RG signpost uncommon wants you to get as many permanents with oil counters as possible... so it can set your opponents creature's on fire with it.
Source: LoadingReadyRun
Migloz, Maze Crusher
Evolved Spinoderm
T1: Exuberant Fuseling oil=1
T2: https://scryfall.com/card/one/171/hands-you-an-egg oil=4
T3: Cast Cinderslash Ravager for RG
*EDIT*
Oops, misread, it's per permanent not counter. Okay, that's more fair.
Definitely feels like they've made some of the signposts into giant flashing billboards this time around.
No, with the right cards it is still possible to get this on turn 3.
Evolving Adaptive, Exuberant Fuseling, Rustvine Cultivator, Tablet of Compleation, The Filigree Sylex, Armored Scrapgorger--all you need is 3 permanents with oil counters and 3 lands on turn 3. It won't always happen, but it will happen often enough.

I forgot about that land.
