What are the most efficient ways to get rid of boros reckoner? I have massive trouble with it, and if they give it first strike it can often take out creatures larger than it, pretty much all my creatures have ~6 toughness before monstrous.
If I fight with domri then he just redirects to kill domri, or kill a dork.
The only thing I have thought of so far is to monstrous an attacking polukranos and bloodrush a wasteland viper for the 1 damage.
Anything else you guys can think of? I'm running more of a monsters deck rather than a devotion.

who cares if they redirect it domri? that just soaking up damage against a red deck and your life total is that much farther away from being burned out. After you should still have board presence so they will be taking damage so in my eyes it seems a fair trade.
Can't you just ignore it, and then kill them on the attack back if they attack you with it?
Doing monstrous with Polukranos will kill it, and leave your monster behind. Casting a red removal spell like Mizzium Mortars will probably wipe their board enough that 4 damage isn't that much of a burden.
Or you could just accept that it trades with a fatty.
Besides Mizzium Mortars and just eating the damage, you can also give your creatures trample in the form of Nylea or Ghor-Clan Rampager. Fighting it with Dormi + Wasteland Viper can work too.
Accept it trades with bigger guys and play with that in mind. It's like a creature with death touch. Trading cmc 4 for a cmc 3 is not a good deal but it's no reason to loose your head.
Ghor Clan Rampager is by far the best way i think. maybe they redirect the 3 to an elf or whatever, but 3 is not enough to kill the big guys (polukranos or stormbreath), and you get to trample over as well. Extra points if you bloodrush rampager, they redirect the 3 damage at a kalonian tusker, and you bestow satyr on tusker in response.
