Within wr?
For red no, unless you can handle random or discarding - Faithless Looting, Dangerous Wager, etc.
For white, you need permanents to draw - Mentor of the Meek, Puresteel Paladin, etc. Otherwise you get bad cantrips like Withstand.
W and G and tertiary in pure card draw, if I am not mistaken.

No I'm brewing a boros control deck coz blue stuff is expensive for a colour not seeing much play

That's hardly an accurate way to access a card that has been at a relatively stable price even though it didn't suite the meta.
The linked deck was listed as Legacy?
Personally White Moon is a good way to go, I believe Jeff Hoogland has a list somewhere.

Didn't mean to link a deck, just put wr mana symbol

Marsh control is the way to go. How are you going to deal with those decks that have 10 copies of goyf (goyf, lightning helix goyf, and I-cost-less-mana-than-goyf) with only path to exile?

I thought youd meant BW control Chief, after Marsh Flats was interested to see what kind of list you had lol

i have 8 copies of path to exile because Chained to the Rocks in a deck running mountains and bloodmoon is effectively a thing

I didn't realize that Boros was a viable control shell.....control is pretty much best left to blue because it has the best counters and draw, not to mention Supreme Verdict.

if a green white control deck work in legacy i'm sure boros can do some work in modern :P

Uhh Abrupt Decay and any enchantment destruction argues with your assessment of chained being path to exile......

What GW deck is control in legacy? Are you talking about hatebears or Maverick?

no Enchantress, technically it's a prison deck but it's a form of control that really hates anything black and has a pillow fort vs burn and creature aggro while struggling vs unfair decks

Draw, then discard at random: Burning Inquiry, Desperate Ravings, Goblin Lore
Discard hand, then draw: Dangerous Wager, Molten Psyche, Reforge the Soul
Discard, then draw: Tormenting Voice, Wild Guess
There's also Faithless Looting and Browbeat.

bell, it acts as path 4-8 but i know it's not as strong still buys you enough time to get advantage plus you got bolt helix flame slash bla bla bla bla bla bla bla

I agree with tibalt. Random discard can never go wrong.

No, Blue has the card advantage side of the colour pie.
Red has card advantage but usually with a downside, Like Humble Defector.
Chandra, Pyromaster is the closest thing really.
