    Safe passage will only protect your planeswalkers from burn. It won't stop creatures from swinging at them. otherwise it would be glorious

    There isn't really any protection. The only thing i've found useful for board wipes or bounces is ajani and playing only what you need to remain a threat. If you have a paladin bonded to something, there isn't too much of a need to unload the others.

    Other than that, i'd be eager to hear of other responses to board wipes for boros colors.

    I absolutely love the idea of this deck. So much that i plopped it in a shopping cart to see how much it would cost to make. But the one thing that makes me cringe and i want to ask: 18 lands? Has that been stable for you? I feel as though mana issues would present themselves quite often. Other than that, good stuff!

    I've been wracking my mind on all the possible ways to make this viable pre gatecrash. The closest i have come to feel comfortable with the level of aggression it outputs is with a RW version of the deck instead of a WR version. The biggest problem for me is the most useful weenies out right now are WW or RR or 1WW or 2WW. If you decide to do the W route for the 1 drop, zealots become intensely hard to pull off turn 2 for a zealot drop, doable, but intensely difficult.

    Doing the deck RW allows you to play a waif or rakdos t1(yea i know not human, but my mono white version runs war falcons as a one drop also so no bigs). That opens up the zealot or mauler turn two, or even a knight of glory. Then the 3cmc hits and you're lookin for 1WW to drop a paladin or a fiend hunter, unless you're running malcontents (2R). So it's an awkward time indeed.

    I haven't fully built the RW version yet to test it's potency as i'm missing a couple cards, but the mono white version is pretty damn explosive so unless the RW Boros is quicker or more resilient/more tempo style, i may stick with mono white until GC.

    A bit more on topic of wanting to it to work out: Is there better options for spells than simple burn? I run faith's shield and o-rings in mono white and i feel that there has to be some better options than 3 dmg for 1R or 2 dmg/exile for R. Maybe traitorous blood if it's a heavy red boros? I know conscripts exist, but i like to keep my land count in the 21 range so a 5cmc is a bit much for a deck with 4 4cmc's rounding out my curve. Always open to suggestions!
