'Three' doesn't mean anything. GOTP FG-Slayer has only 2 ghost of the pasts at 60 cards. So,numbers does not mean anything.
You are forgetting 2 things:
1) it's a fractal deck
2) it has 6 hourglasses

AND i suppose there's 2 of them because you dont want a lonely GoTP as your last card of the deck, wich makes the number of copies count in that situation as well

Here are the reasons why I chose SoB:

The combo is slow --> You need enough :water, a Machine and some Pends to achieve :fire to grow the machine. And then you need :aether and TU to suddenly increase your damage output.

So instead of having many copies of each card, which each needs its own quanta I decided to go with draw power. SoB is good to either draw the missing pends or the missing machine. Since a bad draw mostly consists of having a missing part of the combo it means that the rest is still in your deck.
Here a simple example why I like draw power: When you have 4 Cards, 2 Black and 2 Red ones, and you want the red ones and pick two cards, the chances are 1/3 that you have what you need. While if instead of black cards you have two cards that allow you to pick another one, no matter what you draw, you'll always have the two you need. So in my opinion draw power often is more reliable than have more copies of the needed card.

Also, I wanted to use some of the new Shards and SoB seemed to fit pretty well, especially because of the :fire mark. Of course the suggestions of making it a duo with SoR and adding more copies might work as well, but I can't say if it's better. However, it is a good point which definitely is worth trying. :)

As for the suggestions of making an :aether tower to a pend I think it's a good change. When many machines hit the field and you're facing a stall deck you'll need more :fire.

So, this was my reasoning behind it ^^ Of course new suggestions are still welcome ;)
I really like this deck, it's lot of fun to play :P

 But the name isn't ghost hastenst or fractalled fgs. That's the point. Numbers does not give a deck name.

I mean that without the SoBr this deck has no drawpower potential, and it needs it.

 I am saying that it needs,too. With removing Braves and adding exploisons will ruin the name. So,we are saying same thing Chapuz.
