I see where you're going with this, and believe me, I dig it. This gets an upvote from me. One question- the Felhide Spiritbinder is pretty hardy and you can usually send him in swinging (for the purposes of Inspired) without any consequence. If it's late-game and they've got some tough defenders out there you can't circumvent, why not have some Springleaf Drum in there so you can tap them for mana without attacking? Or something like Claim of Erebos or something? Also, I'd leave out something like the Warchanter of Mogis and one copy of the Kragma Warcaller to put in three copies of a one-drop like Firedrinker Satyr or Rakdos Cackler . If you're trying to keep the tribal theme alive, then wait until Nyx comes out and put in three Gnarled Scarhide .

@TheNinjaJesus I agree with Felhide Spiritbinder , he is way to difficult to use. I agree with the card suggestions to tap him, but it take up more slots just for him. I'm actually not a huge fan of the inspired mechanic anyways, most creatures are pretty weak and cant live to be untapped so you have to use other cards to do so. So I will probably end up taking our the Spiritbinders. I will take your advice and add in the Gnarled Scarhide when I get my hands on some. Thanks for the advice!

I would recommend replacing Dreadbore with Terminate , unless your meta sees a lot of planeswalkers. The instant speed is very useful with things like the Inspired mechanic, allowing you to take out any blocker that would destroy a creature that you need to have tapped. A great combo that I believe justifies leaving Felhide Spiritbinder in your mainboard is copying Kragma Warcaller , giving all your attackers +4/+0 instead of just +2/+0 and one more body to swing with.

+1 from me, if you get a chance I'd appreciate if you'd check out my budget minotaur tribal build, Small Budget, Nasty Minotaurs. Thanks!

@ superhawk610 My plan is to stay in Standard format. However for casual play I would agree that Terminate would be a great card as it can be used right away. I will have to look into getting some since I do not own any as of now. Thanks!

Your mana curve is too high, try lowering it.

Here are a few decent Minotaur you are not running:

  1. Gnarled Scarhide
  2. Boros Reckoner
  3. Nameless Inversion
  4. Fellhide Brawler
  5. Adaptive Automaton

Some more efficient removal spells you can use:

  1. Terminate
  2. Dreadbore
  3. Lightning Bolt
  4. Dismember
  5. Nameless Inversion (gets cost reduced by Ragemonger)
