I did a Bo1 TDM draft challenge run from platinum to mythic only playing ally color decks (and 1 monocolor deck). All praise to Ojutai, Silumgar, Kologhan, Atarka, and Dromoka!
Here is a thread of my best decks and lessons I learned for drafting the format.

Playing 2 color decks can ensure smoother games, at the cost of impact and power. So step 1 is identifying how your deck competes with power.

No need for a 3rd color when you have bombs like Ugin and Scavenger Regent. If you have those and black removal, then the best color to add might be U for card draw to find the bombs reliably.

Fortress Kin-Guard does good work both controlling the board, and then being the finisher empowered by either of those bombs.

Otherwise the deck has many shortcomings, but I just tried to build it with a balanced gameplan to try and not fall too far behind before I find the River Regents.

The many Equilibrium Adept and Stormshriek Feral give card flow to find the black bombs, giving you power to compete with 3 color decks after your aggro start gets stymied.

Fortress Kin-guard does a nice job of setting up Trade Route Envoy to draw to find Craterhoof or Nature’s Rhythm (to find Craterhoof).
