Deck discussion for American Control

I like what you have going on here, but I still don't get all the hype about Boros Reckoner. It doesn't seem to have all that much potential to me. I would swap in something else, like guttersnipe. That seems more effective to me. Unless I am missing something, it would be better than reckoner.

I would say the reason Boros Reckoner is so hyped is because it's a better version of Spitemare,
which does the same, but cost 1 more mana and can't get first strike,
but that's just what I think about it.

Well the Reckoner is easy on the casting cost, being able to fit into mono red/white or any deck that uses either of the colors. Also you don't want to block it because it kills most of the blockers, while it also kills nearly everything while blocking.
It's like targeted deathtouch that can cause players to lose life as well. Also 3 power + first strike is the bane of many creatures.

a lot of people don't like swinging into a boros reckoner, it gives more board control.

Removal on it is just as easy as just about anything else though...I dunno, for me its not worth it, but I see the appeal I suppose.
