Boros: Red Aggro + White Life Gain.

After some testing, I feel like I need to incorporate some amount of card draw. The advantage from Abbot, while very nice, is seemingly not enough against some of the more removal heavy decks (not so much for Red Aggro though since Eidolon does work). Magmatic Insight is my first thought but Dig Through Time could be an excellent possibility as well as long as I can find 2 of the 8 blue sources through the game.

I've also toyed with switching around the mana base to include Mystic Monastery and Flooded Strand instead of quite so many pain lands. Although I have 8 creatures who have or can have lifelink, the life lost from the pain lands often outweighs the life I gain. As this deck performs more towards Mid-Range than Aggro, it becomes less feasible to pay large quantities of life in order to cast spells. This has been especially difficult against Red Aggro. Usually if Soulfire Grand Master is on board, I don't need to worry. But the issue is finding him and keeping him on the field.

Any comments or suggestions are welcome, thanks!
