I would still prefer my Phyrexian Obliterator's over a Reckoner

he's a great card, but there are some answers for him.
I personally have no problem dropping a searing spear into him if a player drops him on turn 3. They're unlikely to have the mana to kick off the infinite life combo, and he represents such a huge threat, that if you end up taking 3 to the face, it's probably worth it. With the deck I play, I've found it very profitable to just go ahead and trade a Loxodon Smiter for him. If they want to send 3 to my face, sure, their reckoner still dies, and I keep my 4/4. Or we can just trade straight up. Or he can take out my Thragtusk and I still get a 3/3.
Flyers can just ignore him. Sure, if I have stuff I care about on the board, I'm not going to block him and risk him taking something else out, but if I'm running flyers, I'm more than happy to take 3 each round and swing back with a bigger flyer.
Trample effects make his damage redirection not such a big deal, limiting him to 3 in most cases. With the popularity of Wolf Run, I'm perfe... (see all)

Terribly overpowered for infinite life combo.

I played against a kid recently that would say 'take three' when I would Murder this thing. Four different times in the same match I had to explain why I didn't take damage just because it died. Then I realized he didn't need the explanation cuz he knew and just tried to pull it n see if it worked. Made me wonder how many times he's won with that trick... not that match anyway. Great card tho, I always liked Spitemare, I just don't play red/white so these made awesome trade fodder...

Boros Reckoner is a noble and valiant soldier of the Boros. Surely he wouldn't commit a blasphemous act...

Other than the obvious {R} / {W} aggro potential... did anyone else first think of Shivan Meteor with this guy? You could also just run snow lands and use Skred...

I LOVE this card. The fact that it's a plain better Spitemare for flexible mana, and can gain first strike makes it a top 5 card in the standard format. also, Blasphemous Act?
