The Super Cereal MANotaurs are back, this time they are 100% Theros block constructed. Now that Ravnica won't be standard, the game has slowed down to a crawl. With the slowing of standard, the bulls will tear decks to pieces. R/B Aggro can still be a thing in this format, so don't be afraid to leave suggestions on how to improve this deck. Remember that this is fairly budget, keep that in mind when commenting. (an example would be suggesting Mutavault. No.)

Deck Breakdown

1 CMC

Gnarled Scarhide: Turn 1 cow threat to start the pressure on your opponent.

2 CMC

Deathbellow Raider: Solid T2 blocker and a T3 attacker when your opponent isn't quite ready to take on something with 3 toughness. Late game, he applies pressure when giving the various buffs from the others in the team, and when coupled with removal spells, he can get to the meat for damage. I've actually gone lethal with this guy in the past. Solid team player.

3 CMC

Felhide Petrifier : Makes any blocking Minotaurs more of a threat, and will make your opponent think twice about blocking them.

Ragemonger: lets all the others get out a little quicker, lets you drop the higher cast Kragma Warcaller for 3 which is great. Be careful, he is often a large target for removal.

Rageblood Shaman: buffs all the others and splashes that sweet trample. Casting for 1RR means that he can feed the Fanatic's rage making him a Lightning Strike ON A STICK!

4 CMC

Fanatic of Mogis: enters with a burn and can also hold his own in a fight. Being a 4/2, he's definitely taking someone with him. Don't be afraid to drop him late game and get the final burn before swinging with the team.

5 CMC

Kragma Warcaller : boosts all attacking minotaurs and even splashes HASTE! What's not to love? Ignore his pink skin and frolicing in the fields of Theros, this guy is a KILLER. His call lets all of your trampling cows get in for a little more damage that could make or break a game.

Non-Creature Pain Spells

Mogis, God of Slaughter: a 4 CMC burn/removal spell? Yes please. If you can make him a creature, more power to ya! He's a strong, independent 7/5 who don't need no man.

Bile Blight: Kills off all sorts of tokens, gets rid of Fleecemane Lion, takes out devotion when combo players get a little too much gas...for just a BB casting cost, -3/-3 comes in very handy.

Magma Jet: burn them or their blockers...then load your next two draws! Casting this T3 can help set up your pain-fest for the rest of the game. Drawing into the appropriate land and removal is paramount for this deck's success.

Lightning Strike: 2 cast 3 damage? Need I say more? This card takes out Kiora, the Crashing Wave and kills Elspeth, Sun's Champion after her first minus. In a pinch, this can be cast on your opponent's end step for some easy 3 damage to the dome.

Drown in Sorrow: this card was almost BUILT for minotaur tribal. Most minotaurs are at 3 toughness, so this card doesn't touch your own guys, just tickles your opponent's booty-hole by taking out all weenies, all devotion, all happiness.

Searing Blood: this is probably my favorite burn in all of Theros, well besides the line "Mono-Black devotion will still be a thing after RTR." Two simple interactions take place in this card: kill the little guy, Lightning Strike to the dome. For just RR casting cost, this card is GREAT!
