Neheb's Minotaur Brigade is a Rakdos minotaur deck that focuses on quick cheap drops that gain trample, first strike, and deathtouch. For combat, the basics are 1) getting out several minotaurs with decent base power/toughness as quickly as possible, then 2) boost them up and give them trample, first strike, and/or deathtouch using abilities of the variety of minotaur drops offered in the 27 available creatures, and then 3) start swinging for hefty damage each turn. I also have 3 Ragemonger which can be a huge help with mana costs no matter how many turns into the game it is. I started testing this deck with 4 of them, but I found 3 was enough since the mana curve of the deck is already low as it is.

The support spell portion of this deck is light (only 13 cards mainboard). I have some decent creature hate with Terminate and Doomfall. I can use Cartouche of Zeal as some good creature boost and possibly in combination with Trial of Ambition for repeated hate. I also have some burn/possible creature hate with Cut / Ribbons.

I have a Adaptive Automaton option in the sideboard. Also in the sideboard I have Without Weakness for an added creature boost or Fiery Temper (which I could likely cast for its madness cost) in case I need some burn leverage. To round out the sideboard I have Despise and Slaughter Games that offer some targeted creature hate/control in case I am going agains an enemy several rounds and I know there is some nasty card I need to get rid of.

So that's the story so far. Any further suggestions welcome!
