@Kr-azi

Because of the state-based action outlined in 704.5g:
"If a creature has toughness greater than 0, and the total damage marked on it is greater than or equal to its toughness, that creature has been dealt lethal damage and is destroyed."

Say Reckoner is dealt 1 point of damage by something...
- Reckoner's 'dealt damage' trigger goes on the stack (choosing to deal damage to itself); it resolves, assuming no one does anything, dealing one damage to the Reckoner

Why does everyone keep including the Boros Charm for indestructibility in the infinite life combo? He doesn't have to survive, does he?

What am I missing? Why the indestructibility?

I agree that first strike doesn't work well with the static ability, but then the card is still fine.
