I like the list but I don't rate brave the elements I've played them in a mono white shell and still didn't find them that usefull and having multiple in hand is not very nice.

I have to disagree with you on this. Protection from a color does 4 things: the creature can't be dealt damage, enchanted, blocked, or targeted by anything of that color.

The great thing about {brave the elements} is that it becomes a counterspell, sort of. You can respond to a removal spell, for example {doom blade}, by giving a creature protection from the spell's color. Since your creature can't be targeted by spells of that color, the removal spell won't work and your creature is saved.

In a mirror match or mono blue devotion matchup, using {brave the elements} can also allow you to win with a crazy board state where they have too many blockers. You just give your guys protection from the color of blockers they have, and their creatures can't block yours.

Brave is just a crazy powerful card right now especially for white
