Boros Reckoner Solution, Anyone?
Deck Help forum

I've been looking for a way to deal with Boros Reckoner . I run a G/W aggro We Own the Forest (Selesnya Aggro), and although the deck runs consistently, the Reckoner seems to mess up my aggro. Anyone have some ideas from the pool of Standard green and white cards to deal with the Reckoner?
Glare of Heresy is probably your best bet, as mckin said.

to elaborate, its a great card in any sideboard for a deck running white imo, it hits so many power house cards, elspeth, dsphere, reckoner, voice, heliod, archangel, assemble the legion,

The aforementioned cards are great for your sideboard, but an equally viable mainboard card is Banisher Priest .

An underlooked card as well, Yoked Ox can block Boros Reckoner all day and never have it deal any damage back

Glare of Heresy would be the best option, but your Spear of Heliod can also destroy the reckoner if its done any dmg to you. Soul Tithe is also a nice option overall to deal with all permanents. fairly under utilized imo

Thanks for the suggestions!
I've thought about Glare of Heresy and it's definitely the strongest, however, it's completely useless if a Mono-Red-Devotion runs the Reckoner and I draw it without ever seeing a Reckoner. Banisher Priest gives more versatility and can be used against almost any deck. The 2 toughness though just sucks. Dies to shock... Pacifism probably seems more useful since it's an enchantment (people obviously don't main enchantment destroyers) and it can deal with other threats such Desecration Demon and Nightveil Specter . Problem with it is that it doesn't get rid of the creature so pretty much useless against god abilities. Soul Tithe is amazing against the gods but against a Reckoner not too sure.
Thinking about either Glare or Pacifism. Glare is just great against any deck running white. Pacifism would help against other decks whether I see a Reckoner or not.
