berryjon on Hexproof in Mono White?

Sadly, Hexproof is Blue and Green as White is the Color of Protection cough. White sources are not permanent. You're looking at Beaming Defiance, Blacksmith's Skill, Karametra's Blessing and Loran's Escape

Avacyn's Memorial is a bit expensive to cast, but it protects your key pieces. Darksteel Forge works as a duplicate effect but is slightly more expensive. One less mana intensive card is Leonin Abunas, which is only half the cost of the memorial, but only offers hexproof instead of indestructible. Sram can be protected with cards that give hexproof or protection to the color he's being targeted by with cards like Beaming Defiance and Gods Willing. Something I noticed with Leonin Shikari is that it pairs really well with Lightning Greaves, as you can respond to a kill spell with the equip trigger at instant speed, which will fizzle the spell. Admittedly, these can be a little hard to pull off in a game, but when it happens it's very satisfying. As for things to take out for these cards, Zephyr Boots is nice because it's cheap, but it's effect is outclassed by the other 1 drop equips in the deck. Another card to remove would be Balan, Wandering Knight, mainly because it's hard to focus on two voltron targets. As for some other card swaps, I'm not too sure. There's already a lot of cards that work well with Sram in the deck and it's a bit hard to decide what else should be removed.

Also it feels like 12 creatures should be the bare minimum. I get that you probably want to be targeting the same creature but if you don't have apostles blessing you can get easily blown out by removal. I think it's worth cutting 2 strike it rich for 2 more soul scars.

I also think you could replace the rest of the strike it riches and some magmatic insight for additional protection spells. The only protection spells in RWb colors are Blacksmith's Skill and Beaming Defiance, I'm leaning towards the first one for the reduced cost but the extra buff from defiance might be good too.

I am thinking about swapping Hero of the Nyxborn for a Leonin Lightscribe . Furycalm Snarl or Hall of Oracles could also be included? I am thinking if Sudden Breakthrough and Beaming Defiance could be useful?
