Not "Battle Cattle"? You were so close!

The single greatest card in a minotaur deck is Didgeridoo - being able to cheat guys out at instant speed is no laughing matter. Try to pick one up ASAP!

Ahh yes, I forgot to add the mighty Didgeridoo to the acquire list. I am browsing around to see if i can get it at my local shop before i get it online at the moment.

Have you considered running any cards with Madness? Neheb definitely has a discard subtheme.

I have considered it, but from play-testing usually around turn 4-5 i have only 0-1 cards in my hand at all times.

Call to the Netherworld is a great madness card, you can use it to retreive neheb if an opponent kills him, and it's good even if you can't trigger madness

Maybe some cards to go along with your tribal theme like Shared Animosity , Herald’s Horn , Urza's Incubator

Since you want less cards in hand I would go for some bloodrush stuff like Wrecking Ogre or Scorchwalker. The double strike from the Ogre would make Neheb proc twice.

@ Ruyen, both those suggestions seems very usefull. thanks for the suggestion.

@ Homelessguy, thanks for the suggestions, i might use the Herald's Horn from the pre-con Draconic Domination commanders deck.

I personally would get replace Never with Murder. It's a few cents cheaper, instant speed, and while it may not get rid of planeswalkers like Never, smacking them will likely get rid of them. The aftermath effect isn't really worth it, as zombies don't really seem to fit in with the deck and 4 mana for a 2/2 is pretty much wasted. Really like the deck though, it does it's job well and deserves more than 8 upvotes.

@EyelessStarfish That is not a bad idea. I believe I have a copy of Murder around somewhere. Thank you for that suggestion.

No problem at all.

I get that Minotaurs don't have a lot of creatures to choose from, but you're running a lot of cards that are just plain bad. Talruum Champion, Emberhorn Minotaur, and so on are cards that perform really poorly in EDH. I'd advise adding a few more rocks and maybe some psuedo-draw that doesn't increase cards in your hand like Frontier Siege and vance's blasting cannons

Not "Battle Cattle"? For why?

If you find yourself running a number of sub-par minotaurs just for the sake of padding out numbers, don't forget that there are some quality changelings that can take their place and still count as marauding moo-men. Taurean Mauler , Cairn Wanderer , Changeling Outcast and Graveshifter are all solid cards. Note also that Venomous Changeling and Moonglove Changeling already have (or can get) Deathtouch, meaning they can get the dreaded 'instant-kill' from Neheb if you don't have Felhide Petrifier around.

OMG 'Battle Cattle' is the most amazing name I have heard for a deck in a long time, perhaps ever. You are a genius. Petition to change the name +1

Experimental Frenzy is a fun card that lets you not rely on having cards in hand to cast spells.

Nice deck!
