Deck:

An aggressive midrange Minotaur deck that uses creature cards with discard effects to create value as well as instant spells with madness and jump-start.

Spells Irencrag Feat and Oracle of Bones give you ways to cheat finisher Deathbellow War Cry turns early to devastating effect. Use War Cry to summon four of your grandest of champions - Neheb, Dreadhorde Champion, Neheb, the Eternal, Moraug, Fury of Akoum and finally Fanatic of Mogis to deal 7 damage with devotion all in a single play.

Minotaurs:

• Burning-Fist Minotaur (first strike, discard enabler and +2/+0 self-buff). With a potential to be explosive during combat on turn 3, this creature can deal up to 7 damage with its activated ability if discarding Fiery Temper for its madness cost.
• Glint-Horn Buccaneer (haste, looting, whenever you discard a card opponent loses 1 life)
• Rageblood Shaman (trample, Minotaurs gain +1/+1 and trample)
• Fanatic of Mogis (ETB devotion)
• Oracle of Bones (haste, tribute 2, ETB free spell cast)
• Neheb, Dreadhorde Champion
• Moraug, Fury of Akoum

Discard-friendly instant speed spells:

• Fiery Temper (madness) 3 damage to any target.
• Risk Factor (jump-start) 4 damage to target opponent or card draw.

War Cry combo:

• Irencrag Feat, Oracle of Bones
• Deathbellow War Cry
