Boros Reckoner is classic stuff... this deck seems super fun. What do you think of Ocelot Pride to help accelerate into your blasphemous acts and provide a little bit of extra meat on the board for a more grindy game? Same with the MH3 Ajani. These would also serve to bait out removal and leave the path clear for your reckoning. These cards are what make Boros Energy so powerful and I don't see why you couldn't take advantage too. One more suggestion, I'm also a big fan of Surgical Extraction in the board as opposed to Soul-Guide Lantern because it's instant speed and much harder for reanimator to play around, plus it's valuable vs non-reanimator strategies to pick apart their deck. Meltdown is also very good right now I think better than Cast into the Fire for artifact hate, and I also like Ricochet Trap for anti-countermagic. 4 sideboard blood moon also seems like lot I think generally it's good to have a more diverse range of sideboard cards instead of going all in on 1 card.

Your probably right actually... I'll probably pickup Cast into the Fire as an option for this deck too while I'm at it... I honestly just didn't get any LOTR cards/packs. Next time I pickup singles I'll add them.

These aggro decks man lol I’ll adjust the sideboard for more answers. More Cast into the Fire will be nice. Maybe some more tech for Affinity too.

Trying out a Mystical Teachings sideboard plan. It would be nice to run a bunch of one-of instants to grab with Teachings like 5C Tron but most of my deck needs to be saved for Eggs. Instead, Teachings can run as additional copies of various answer pieces like Cast into the Fire and Weather the Storm.

Frantic Salvage is tempting only because it makes multiple Golem Foundries into a timely win condition, but since I already want room for another Reckoner's Bargain and Ancient Stirrings I think I’m good. If WotC ever prints Grisly Salvage for artifacts I’ll be all over it.

Possible answers, non-exhaustive and in no particular order:

Exiling: Shattering Blow, Cast into the Fire, Tear Asunder, Resculpt, Anguished Unmaking, Despark, Prismatic Ending, Rite of Oblivion

Countering and discard, the usual array

Draw prevention and punishment: Narset, Parter of Veils, Maralen of the Mornsong, Spirit of the Labyrinth, Orcish Bowmasters, Sheoldred, the Apocalypse

Most of these are sideboard material at best, but some are general enough to hold up in a fringe deck, or specific enough to be in most sideboards. (What an insightful comment. Some of the possible answers are bad, some are okay, and some are pretty good. Watch out, analysts, here I come.)

So I would say that if The One Ring takes over, Esper Control might wander back into the upper ranks (while using The Ring itself), Burn and Hammer just kind of ignore it and work around the turn of protection, and Raggy-Reggie-Ragey decks might slip a little bit.

I haven't faced or used The One Ring in action yet, so this is me eyeballing and speculating, but I'm leaning toward not banworthy. The One Ring is two-thirds of a control deck in a single card, with the protection and draw, but control could use a hand. And it looks like Omnath is already locking it in. Which will get banned first, The One Ring or Omnath-4? It'll fill in a few more decks, maybe become the centerpiece of its own deck with Voltaic Key turbo-draw or Escape Protocol perma-protection, but it's not going to explode Modern unless something happens in Caves of Ixalan or whatever.

And if I'm wrong, it's another card for my banlist-only deck, so there.
