Do you think Boros is playable in current ext? Maybe it needs some more burns(like Char) or other creatures?

Ethersworn Canonist
Seems to hurt md.
In any game that last past turn 5 you might need to Ranger/Bushwacker swing for win in the same turn... Lnyx seems a better fit swing for 4 turn 2 is nice.

Add 4 Marsh Flats for 2 Plains 2 Mountains
Add 4 Scalding Tarns for 2 Plains 2 Mountains

Then run a playset of Steppe Lynx, it will guarentee some 4/5 swings.
