Having the Minotaur package at playsets would be greatly beneficial; the Minotaur lords are definitely important.

Would greatly benefit in removal/burn.

Well, here's my version of Rakdos aggro. It's really consistent and plays well against meta decks. Ravish the Meek. Strip away Chandra and the nonbasics and you've got a decent budget build.

For now, I don't think Minotaur tribal is good enough for Rakdos and a curve of 3.03 is really high for an aggro deck. It borders more on midrange. You want to keep this cheap? Here's my suggested curve:

Rakdos Cackler , Spike Jester , Rakdos Shred-Freak , Chandra's Phoenix , Master of the Feast or Herald of Torment , Exava, Rakdos Blood Witch .

Also, if you take a look at my sideboard, it's also really cheap (minus the Lifebane Zombie ). It's meant to combat all kinds of monster decks, the various midrange builds in the meta, and has ways to deal with control.

I think that should set you on the right path. Hope I helped.

i'd suggest getting rid of Fall of the Hammer and go with more reliable removal. Hero's Downfall , Doom Blade , Ultimate Price . Mizzium Mortars , and Dreadbore are all very good choices in black and red. Being aggro I could see 3 mana and double BB being a little intensive so Hero's Downfall might be a little much but the others are only 2 mana and less color intensive. I'd also recommend getting rid of Havoc Festival , it may seem like your doing large amounts of damage but in an aggro deck your gonna be swinging away trying to as much damage as you can as quick as you can. Your opponent should be dead, if not as close to dead as they can get by turn 6 (the earliest you can play Havoc Festival .
