Drafted the bones of this deck during theros prerelease. Went 3-0. So i've been trying to flesh it out into a good standard deck. It would seem minotaur tribal is a thing now so i thought i'd put up my build.
!!Has been updated with suggestions, thanks!!
Kragma Warcaller and Door of Destinies are the stars of the show.
Rageblood Shaman is the second most important minotaur in the deck (he is more of a removal target then Kragma Warcaller at the moment tho warcaller does more work most of the time)
Minotaur Skullcleaver
haste, hit for 4+ when it drops, depending on your board state. Forces them to chump block or take it, he dies a lot but Whip of Erebos keeps him relavent later in the game
Deathbellow Raider he drops for 2 and regens for 3
Tymaret, the Murder King, early board presence, huge removal target, tho he works best as a mid/late game finisher.And having a sac outlet for creatures that are chump blocking that turns them into a 2 mana shock isn't bad. And......If you have one in play and one in the graveyard. He becomes an infinite chump blocker for 1B and B/R the next turn (aka 4 mana a turn) which can be very good late game when your waiting to top deck a card.
Purphoros, God of the Forge every creature that enters the battlefield deals 2 damage, Whip of Erebos loves this and so does the
Tymaret, the Murder King
infinite chump block combo. Not going to make devotion most of the time ( damn you
Boros Reckoner
why do you cost so much, lol)
Underworld Cerberus, works well in this deck, can end the game with last bit of damage, if it dies your hand fills back up with dead minotaurs (which is awesome if doors is still in play)Can sack to
Tymaret, the Murder King
to hasten the effect then play and sac creatures you got back. (Or just play if purphoros is on the board)
Mutavault, gets bonuses from doors, rageblood and warcaller as its all creature types. (would put in one more if i owned one)
Whip of Erebos for life gain and bringing back haste attackers for a turn (works awesome with doors of destinies if it has counters on it already)This card is so much better then Hammer of Purphoros in this deck.Auto answer to mill decks.
Read the Bones for card draw. It's great. Smooths out the deck a bit. Side in Dragon Mantle for more aggro matches. Thinking of replacing with Toil / Trouble
Been playing around with different removal and burn
Ratchet Bomb for token decks same with Rakdos Charm (oh you have just made a bunch of tokens, bam they just killed you)
Dreadbore or Hero's Downfall for bomb removal.
This deck really wants Boros Reckoner (but he's is a bit pricy) even tho he would be a turn 6-8 drop in this deck, and because there is the possibility that you will not have three red till turn 6.Could become more competitive with devotion, gods and a better land base. Fanatic of Mogis does not often hit for much in this build, but is still a solid card.
Love to hear any comments or suggestions
