Burn Cream
Standard Deck Help forum

I'm sick of getting burnt by red instants and thought I'd try put together a bit of an anti red burn deck. I know I could go blue for counter but any suggestions on what other cards/approaches might be fun to try would be a huge help.

Dromoka's Command has a pretty relevant mode. Orbs of Warding is solid.

I had just noticed Deflecting Palm (new and still discovering cards as I go) and I really like that, I like the idea of sticking with red/white rather than trying to add blue just for counters. Dromoka's Command would be great but a bit pricey for me. Orbs of Warding Deflecting Palm Iroas's Champion Iroas, God of Victory sounds like it might be fun... and affordable.
Maybe add some more white protection of some sort?

I've recently seen U/B Aristocrats do well in gaining life while getting creatures out fast. Hope this helps!

I can't decide if having both Deflecting Palm and Orbs of Warding is counter productive or not even though the palm can be used for combat damage as well?
Either way it's not really direct damage to me I was trying to prevent (or use) just so many decks in the casual area using burn spells to clear the field of creatures I thought it'd be interesting to try something that did more than just burn them back. I miss my old Cleric deck :(
As you can tell Im having to look up cards and affects as I go along and didnt see anything really helpful under hexproof. The first deck or two I created are still a little slow so I wanted to also build a quick deck and started with things like Dragon's Eye Sentry Goblin Glory Chaser, I then tried out things like Glaring Aegis or Enshrouding Mist but not sure this is the most efficient way to go.
Maybe I should just focus on staying on the attack but any other ideas for surviving burn spells much appreciated.

If it's your life total you're worried about you could always just go for lifegain cards. Arashin Cleric is great in your colours and can effectively block little white creatures. Lantern Scout is an affordable effective creature that can give your team lifelink for a turn at least once.

Deflecting Palm Psychic Rebuttal these are for standard the deflecting Palm works on more than just burn spells, Fork is also nice but not standard. Is there any direction you want to go? Mindswipe is a counter and a burn because burn people who burn you lol
