I used to play just hardcore RUW reckoner control, but now with the release of Ral-Zarek, my now favorite planeswalker, I'm putting together my own fun deck that uses reckoner and Zarek to just control the game. Basically maintain mild board advantage with deputy to just switch out and change up the opponents combat math, and then with Ral Zarek and the burn spell, just pick off the smaller more annoying enemies, and keep counters in your bank for the big stuff. As in any reckoner control, harvest pyre for a fun win condtition, or if that isnt working, harvest pyre can always be a fun 5 burn for bigger things in your way. My side board is an experiment to throw the opponent for a loop. Ask if you have questions but mainly side out the zareks in a control matchup for AOT's.
