You mean Oracle of Bones right? Well sadly, he doesn't belong here despite being a minotaur. He will perform quite better on decks that has lots of sorceries and instants. As you can see we only run a few and they are even cheap.

so what about substituting in some Flurry of Horns with the Oracle of Bones?

Probably as a 2-of since it costs 5. Despite its cost, 2 hasty cows are not that bad most especially with lords on the board. Feel free to test it.

lords? and with oracle they would be free if no tribute was paid

The lords or tribal lords are creatures that boost creatures of its own tribe. The Minotaur Lords are: Rageblood Shaman, Kragma Warcaller, Felhide Petrifier and Ragemonger.
Well Oracle of Bones will indeed make the flurry free, but that is if the opponent didn't pay the tribute. If paid, then it's not free anymore although you do have a 5/3 hasty cow. The reason I didn't include the oracle is because of consistency issues.
You may want to test it though and tell me how often they go off well.

Have you thought about adding an Act on Impulse, maybe as a 1 of or 2 of? It's a nice way to get a few more cards out of your library.

Act on Impulse is a 3-cmc spell, which the deck is pretty much clogged already. Also, I need open mana to cast the stuff it exiled. If the casting is free, I would have considered it.

I recently splashed white into my version for control. EX: Crackling Doom, Utter End, and Chained to the Rocks. I am considering losing Mogis, God of Slaughter for Athreos, God of Passage. To put more pressure on them when killing my minotaurs. Let me know what you think. The local meta at my place is the typical Mardu aggro or jeskai token or blue black control. And some Blue White heroic.

I actually thought of the white splash as well. The deck has white during RTR when Reckoner was around along with Chained to the Rocks.
Athreos over Mogis is really a good idea. I'll try it out.

Any thoughts on Fall of the Hammer ??? I find it works out great with Felhide Petrifier out.

koth_of_the_bummer says... #14
It is good only if Felhide Petrifier is out, otherwise won't do much. I might try it but, I think I'll just keep removals on the main instead.
Nice idea though.

Can you take a look at my minotaur deck?

The Felhide Spiritbinder could also be a good replacement for Mogis and I have yet to test it. Once he activates, he could copy a lord in the field and do some beating. Being a 3/4 body is good too. As for Kragma Butcher, it's not that good enough based on my testing. Remember that the 3-cmc spot is pretty much clogged.
