NonetheWeisser, I couldn’t agree with you more. With Boros Elite being a one-drop that you can easily turn into a 3/3 make it an absolute powerhouse. I’ve seen a lot of people run 2/1 cards like Soldier of the Pantheon, Mardu Woe-Reaper, and Elite Vanguard, but I personally think Boros Elite blows them all away. Thanks for stopping by!

@Dragaan Great card choices!
Guttural Response vs Veil of Summer is a meta decision for people that contend with nonsense like Gifts Ungiven/Cryptic Command/Archmage's Charm... its more narrow of a card choice but because its a sideboard card when its brought in the hybrid mana of can enable the deck to still make aggressive plays while still having appropriate mana available to cast if applicable. I think for a lot of people Veil of summer is probably a better/more rounded choice though and I should definitely mention it and explain this in the primer.
Pelt Collector is another great option that I neglected to mention in my deck description which I will update later on. It feels so so so good to open with and would probably say it is generally a better choice than Kytheon, Hero of Akros Flip; which frankly is a "win more" card when not just being a fancy Elite Vanguard. My only complaint about the card is that it can feel bad to topdeck but otherwise its outstanding!

This would push white weenie into overdrive. Honor of the Pure, Rally the Ranks, and a pile of Elite Vanguards and Expedition Envoys will turn into a value machine, and +1/+1 counters are easy to come by. Even dropping it down to base power 1 might not be enough.
My first thought is that if you want it to allow multiple draws per turn, make it a quantity limit, something like "Whenever you attack with six or more creatures, draw a card for each attacking creature beyond the fifth." I'm guessing at the numbers, so that might be too restrictive.
This card has potential, but I think it's giving a little too much free value to white, playing too much to its strengths.

- Side boards are pretty meta dependent so i would want to know what decks you'll know you will face.
- Wall of omens is amazing in this deck. It draws you a card, and helps keep you alive for the late game.
I would at least consider the following:
Elite Vanguard can still attack for 2 damage, and will trade better on def when running against low cost creatures.
Mardu Woe-Reaper might cost more $ but has an affect as well
Soldier of the Pantheon really good vs 3 color decks being they have more multicolored spells.
Imposing Sovereign slows the game down for you
Thalia, Guardian of Thraben is a $ card so you can ignore it, just one know exists being you might be facing one. Esper Sentinel wrote down and forgot how much it costs, which might be a lot now that i think of it. - If felt particularly spicy and wanted to go with a more controlling style deck you could put in Timely Reinforcements. Giver of Runes All are cheap 1-2 mana creatures that have an affect. Some of these are better than others, if you only facing mono colored decks then the multi-color interactions are bad, and if your facing a lot of those spells then it has more on an impact than an 0/1 blocker and 2/3 attacker (or i guess at best 4/5).
- Giver of Runes is a more expensive card but it protects your angel which is very good removal. They would need 1 spell for her and the angel.
- There is an arguement for honor the pure however its 2 mana do nothing until we start going which feels like a "win more card" so ill say it exists but wont recommend it.

Very cool!
When I started playing Standard, I started with Innistrad (I learned and got into it with the Dragons vs. Knights Duel deck, but didn't play a real format until the fall), and My deck was a white weenie, centered around Thalia, Guardian of Thraben (she came along later, but I have to mention her, she's so great!!), Elite Vanguard, Doomed Traveler, Selfless Cathar, Elite Inquisitor, Unruly Mob, Mentor of the Meek, Fiend Hunter, and topped by Angelic Overseer.
But the centerpieces of the deck were Champion of the Parish and Mikaeus, the Lunarch, who inspired this:
Thraben Recruiter
When Thraben Recuiter enters the battlefield, create X 1/1 white Human creature tokens, then put X +1/+1 counters among Humans you control.
1/1
I'd like to see a Kaldheim common, considering the cards already spoiled.

Oops:
"Savannah Lions is bad"
Oof, the power creep represented there. That was a straight up competitive card. Like when I started I played Elite Vanguard and loved it (the deck had tribal support)
Anyways, A competitive Savannah Lions for a Modern deck:
Karoo Wildcat
Creature - Cat
Sacrifice Karoo Wildcat: Each player and permanent gains protection from the color of your choice until end of turn.
2/1
I think this could be good against Death Shadow, Bogles, Burn, and make 8-Rack harder to play. Idk, seems playable.
I'd like to see a card which is good in limited and modern/pioneer but no where else.
