Nothing is coming to mind, but is there anything I am not thinking of? This dude is running Minotaurs at my LGS and Im trying to come up with something I can use against it. Thanks
If you can, maybe add more Merciless Eviction to your sideboard. It seems like your deck has all the answers you need. You just need to get him to overcommit or pull the good things out of his hand with your Thoughtseize . As long as you disrupt him properly, minotaurs aren't a big deal.

That deck looks really well situated against Minotaurs, to be honest. What specific problems are you having in the matchup?

Detention Sphere sort of hates on tribal decks. I suppose Homing Lightning does too

Detention Sphere and Homing Lightning work most effectively against tokens.
He's looking for something like Circle of Solace , Tsabo's Decree , or Engineered Plague , but nothing like that exists in Standard.

Well I just thought that minotaur decks only run maybe 4 different creatures. Which means it's likely they have maybe 2 or 3 of the same creature out multiple times. Therefore the above cards will be more effective against tribal decks than others.

I was just overwhelmed last time a played against him. too many minataurs making all his minataurs into big threats. Maybe I was just having bad pulls that day? idk. I might be able to make room for a couple Supreme Verdict , and I was already considering adding another Merciless Eviction to my SB, so I thinks I will go ahead and do that.

To be honest there's nothing dangerous with tribal in standard just go black or blue so you can remove all the threats or get rid of them before they hit the field.

Your best bets are just to spot-remove his lords so that all of his creatures become fairly terrible or just run Supreme Verdict .
What deck are you playing? It's hard to give advice without at least that much.
