Maybe but the Blood Crypt 's work best when playtested. I tried 2 Sacred Foundry 's and it didn't work so well since that's the only reason I'd use the white mana.

Because it goes good with any other Minotaur that buffs Minotaurs lol so I figured why not? It can be a 3/3 Minotaur land with trample with Rageblood Shaman in play lol

I would scrap Thoughtseize and Mutavault in place of some enchantments like Madcap Skills and or Deviant Glee and really make those Minotaurs huge.I am also running a tribal Minotaur deck that is yet to be up on tapped out but it runs pretty well and to be honest if you're beating down the opponent with big Minotaurs, you probably don't need any scry or /that much card draw.+1 Keep up the good work

How about I take out Anger of the Gods and sideboard it and put in Madcap Skills ? I really wanna leave Thoughtseize in there. And yes. MANOTAURS FTW!!! Lol

I should put Fanatic of Mogis in there huh I forgot all about him lol. Btw where is that +1 haha it's still unrated :(

I'm gunna tell you what I told my friend.... Immortal Servitude as at least a two of. All those Anger of the Gods hitting you pretty much meaning nothing as you bring everything back.

Just sideboarded Anger of the Gods lol just as you commented. I swapped them for Madcap Skills . I do like the thought of that but the cmc is no less than 3 so maybe will consider it. Appreciate it :)

Sick looking deck. I'd suggest maybe replace one kragma with a fanatic if nothing else but to speed up the deck a little or Borderland Minotaur .

Immortal Servitude has no effect on things killed by Anger of the Gods

That wasn't a serious suggestion was it lol? It's B/R I'm not splashing white. Although a part of me says I should since it could make this deck a bit better.

I'd add a card like Wake the Reflections to create tokens so you can abuse the effects of rageblood and kragma because they are the backbone.
October 3, 2013 6:19 a.m.
Wake the Reflections would require a Minotaur Token to be viable as well as another color being added.
Look at:
Undead Minotaur instead of Boros Reckoner . You have no way to abuse his ablity yourself and people are just going to let him through or remove him with Dreadbore , Hero's Downfall , Curse of the Swine , or Doom Blade .
Cavern of Souls or Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx instead of Mutavault . While Mutavault is fun in any tribal deck, Minotaurs don't have enough abilities to support it and it's only going to be effective late game, while Cavern of Souls will prevent your Minotaurs from being countered and Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx will heavily ramp your mana.
Ordeal of Purphoros and Titan's Strength . For 2 mana, Ordeal buffs your Minotaurs steadily, capping at 3 +1/+1 counters, then Lightning Bolts mid combat, before blockers are declared, for FREE. Meanwhile, if they try to trade or "Wall Block" your Minotaurs (blocking with a dude that has higher P/T), Titan's Strength will give your Minotaurs +3/+1 AND First Strike. DO NOT OVERLOOK COMBAT TRICKS!

Yes thank you Ryuga for your suggestions. Your absolutely right about Wake the Reflections would make no sense to be in here. I only have two Boros Reckoner 's anyways so that's ok. But I do indeed like your combat tricks. These are the suggestions I need. Unfortunately Cavern of Souls is no longer standard. But as for Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx it's a legendary land so maybe run 1 or 2 of? What should I take out in place of Titan's Strength and Ordeal of Purphoros ?

Nothing, this deck is definitely fine the way it is and curves nicely. Boros Reckoner may just eat a removal spell, but if you took them out, then something else will eat that removal spell instead.

Ok well I do need to find a replacement for two reckoners since I actually only have two lol. Also I kind if want to get rid of Read the Bones because the scry is nice but between that and Thoughtseize I can't afford to really lose life. Replacement suggestions would be cool everyone :). Also wanna start working on a sideboard as well. More +1s as well I'm doing all I can to take all of your suggestions and responding lets get this deck higher :D ill even upvote your decks.

Also if you want to drop Read the Bones I'd suggest Magma Jet to at least keep some deck consistency.

Jsouth1217 says... #24
Magma Jet will be put in now for Read the Bones thanks cuz that's honestly what I was thinking as well :). Thank you Stone_Munkee for the upvote as well!!

maybe swap a mountain or two for Sacred Foundry to give you a little more fixing on your Reckoners
