Artifact of Perception is hard to quantify.
Good/

Red/White has the tools to be highly competitive. Unfortunately using them is generally frowned upon by the larger *casual* EDH community and it takes a specific type of player to want to use them. A guy at my LGS has a Jor Kadeen, the Prevailer deck that is mana rocks and Armageddon effects. It is very good at preying upon the non-basic land meta here.
Ramping lands and playing fatties, or drawing cards and blinking for value appeals to a wide swath of the EDH player base. Destroying all lands and keeping your opponents out of the game appeals to a much smaller portion of the community (and is generally poorly received). Most attempts I've seen at Boros EDH is "extra attacks" or "voltron". These decks get blown out by a board wipe or can't generate card advantage to be relevant in the late game. They exclude the cards that would win them the game because they are labeled "unfun".
If they made Sylvan Primordial red (and search for Mountains), would it have gotten banned? It is kind of a neat thought experiment... I know many do not believe Sylvan was strong enough to be banned in the first place, but going with the assumption that it is, is the strength of the card diminished if it was printed in,
, or
?
