"Eternal glory awaits you my child."

The goal of the deck is to discard cards for value, achieve Hellbent, and stampede. Drop Neheb, the Worthy or Hazoret the Fervent and tear apart their lifetotal. This was originally built for a friend, and I wanted to test it. He didn't like it too much, so I kept the deck, but it was clunky and far too easy to stop. This new version is different, but Minotaurs desperately needs some friends at the bottom of the curve. As many of you have noticed, my decks are all lacking something. Each one needs one or two more cards to perfect it, but no such cards have been printed yet.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the list!
