You might consider Lord of Shatterskull Pass as an alternate 4 drop to the vanilla 4/3. Ragemonger is part of the Born of the Gods set soon to be released, you might find a it useful as well.

I know his mana cost is hard in here (and his actual price) but Boros Reckoner would be great.

Door of Destinies is an amazing card in any tribal deck like this. I would totally try it.

why not Lightning Bolt instead of Shock ?

M1kee says... #10

all my lightning bolts are in another deck at the moment..but you're right, I should move them to this deck..not really playing with the other one anymore anyway..I'll tear it apart & make an update I'm a bit

thanks for the reminder LioAME3!

Nice job, dude. I like the concept of running Minotaurs bcuz they r BOSS. +1

The only thing i would suggest is taking out Rakdos, Lord of Riots for something more effective such as Mogis, God of Slaughter if you're willing to buy it or Ashenmoor Liege bcuz its sweet.

thanks Lordfishyy!! minotaurs rock!!

I'll consider your suggestions, but I'm really trying to keep the CMC below 3..gonna have to figure some lower costing cards to add in order to balance it out..

I would drop 2x Door of Destinies and 1x Whip of Erebos and add 3x Lightning Bolt . Running 4x Lightning Bolt would make the deck a bit faster and much mor consistent.

yeah I've been toying with the idea of dropping a Whip of Erebos an adding another Lightning Bolt ..I haven't played it with the Door of Destinies so I wanna see how it goes before trading them out, but yes, if they end up not being very useful, I will definitely add more Lightning Bolt to fill those slots..

thanks for the ideas Saljen!

As to flying, some enchantments can be used such as Shiv's Embrace or Gift of Orzhova Either give flying and buffs. Just an idea.

3 Rakdos, Lord of Riots may be too much. Maybe some Desecration Demon for more flying, you still get the 6/6 and don't have to worry about dealing damage first. Maybe some more burn to help with that pre-casting damage if you still want to run a lot of Rakdos.

M1kee says... #17

awesome! Desecration Demon seems like the perfect alternative to Rakdos, Lord of Riots ! I'll have to grab some from my lgs next time I'm there

thanks EsoEric!

@Dead_eye5

..and an excellent idea at that :) not having to pay equipment costs will definitely make this deck faster & more viable..looks like I've got a few cards to grab at my lgs :)

You could easily make this standard if you wanted, just replace the few non-standard spells that, in all honesty, I personally don't find that good and BOOM you have a great deck for FNM!

If you would like some inspiration for a standard deck you can check out: Mythical Minotaur Madness [Budget]

right on man; I just might do that..I'm at Wednesday Modern at my lgs and just went 0-2 against some crazy robot artifact deck with cards I've never even heard of..first game, I was dead in 4 turns..maybe it will fair better in Standard
