Why on earth would you not run {Leyline of Sanctity} in Boros burn?

I forgot about {Wear // Tear}. You /need/ enchantment hate in the current meta. Folding to {Leyline of Sanctity} will make you lose games you should have won.

Why /not/ run {Blood Moon}? Besides that it's a BS card that shouldn't exist. It wins games. {Choke} is a devastating SB card as well.

How is blood moon BS? It's so easy to play around. Fetch Lands exist. Also, you can play around choke. Leyline is a hoser for one archetype

Fetches don't help if {Blood Moon} is already on the board, or you don't know it's coming. You can play around it, and {Choke}, but it's not pleasant or easy and you will lose games. Unless of course you're not like me and you play 1-2 color decks.
It doesn't matter if you don't know it's coming, you can think about if that deck would run blood moon, and if you think they might, you fetch around it.

1. Blood moon is a fine card, it punishes you for being greedy and is bad if you're careful

2. Leyline of sanctity doesn't do damage so you don't play it in the deck where everything needs to be a land or do damage.

3. Blood moon also doesn't do damage. Any deck that gets screwed up by blood moon will probably also get screwed up by dying on turn 4 to a bunch of lightning bolts.

Yes, but it won't matter. It'll basically equate to RR: deal 6+ damage to an opponents and 8-12 to yourself, and that 8-12 won't matter except against zoo and other fast decks, in which case they'll start being shocked more too.

The double white in firewalker can be difficult depending on how much you spend on lands.

If you run Boros burn, it shouldn't be too much of a problem..

Play {Soulfire Grandmaster} SB instead

Nope, dies too easily, kor firewalker is pro red so used only in the mirror and sustains your life through not only your spells but your opponents as well.

Also, firewalker is 42cents soul fire is 10.50 so if they're on a budget then kor is best fit
