What are everyones thoughts on cards like Rageblood Shaman ? I feel if black red minotaurs actually perform well cards like this could shoot up a good bit from where they are at. I dont see black red performing amazing but i could see it doing well enough for these lower value cards to hopping up to at least five dollars.
Oh i hope your right, in which case I will sell my playset-and-a-half with the swiftness

It won't be any different than Stromkirk Captain in Innistrad. Nothing special. Just tribal.

I think the biggest problem it's running into is there's no 1cmc minotaurs to work with. Tribal decks usually want 2-3 creatures already on the field when it's time to cast their "champion".

There are two "champion" minotaurs in Theros. Rageblood Shaman and Kragma Warcaller

I don't think there will be a 1 drop minotaur, at least not in this block. Ragemonger would make it absurd. Though I do think tribal minotaurs will be a small thing, b/r support is interesting. But I don't think it can stand up to other standard decks at the moment. JOU might give it some sort of support in the form of an early artifact or enchantment bonus, making it more viable.

There are several good Minotaurs you can use in your build but in my opinion no successful Minotaur build will be strictly Minotaurs. The Build will probably be devotion and consist of rakdos cackler and shred freaks for devotion and be siding stuff like Sire of insanity. Too many people are focused on trying to make a 100% minotaur deck which won't be successful because it doesn't curve properly.

Rage blood shaman might pop up a little bit only because he's rare if people are trying to include them in a Minotaur deck and his demand goes up but only by couple bucks.

That's how the standard economics goes unfortunately. There are a few cards which shoot up to a high price and stay high (Snapcaster Mage , Deathrite Shaman ) but the other ones are hit or miss. Master of Waves was only a few dollars before MUD became a thing. Of course, if black red minotaurs becomes a thing the price will shoot up, but otherwise, no one knows.
