MTGA seems to want me to built a deck around Parhelion II, having given me a full set already out of a few boosters. And that's what I will try to do. Since it's MTGA, the format is Standard. I have a decent amount of wildcards of all rarities, but not an overwhelming number of rares and mythics. I can get several playsets of cards of those rarities, though. So before I cash them in to get cards, I'd like to have at least a rough idea of the deck to be.
My idea is to build a w/g deck, white for the vehicle, green for the mana accel to get it out in time to matter. And I need to creatures to crew it. And maybe give it haste. Etc. But if I just throw all my ideas together, I'll end up with a huge unplayable pile of cards.

Some ideas of mine are Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner to untap lands for accel, or potentially a Incubation Druid, Nissa, Who Shakes the World, maybe Sleek Schooner to make a small creature able to crew it and with it the Parhelion II, Samut, Tyrant Smasher to give haste and make creatures big enough to crew the Parhelion II. And too many others.
So what do yo think are the best cards to make this work?
edit:
I should probably provide at least a incomplete deck list to talk about:
4 Temple Garden
12 Forest
8 Plains
4 Incubation Druid
4 Druid of the Cowl
Others (20)
4 Finale of Glory
4 New Horizons
4 Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner
4 Nissa, Who Shakes the World
4 Parhelion II
