Deck Description

Basic Idea:
When looking at my new Amonkhet cards I found Neheb, the Worthy and quickly new that I wanted to do something with that card.

Building it:
I started with 24 lands as I knew that the minotaur-tribal is quite an expensive one. some of those would be replaced later in with duallands.
I threw in 4 Neheb, the Worthy (which I later reduced to 2) and started a quick search for minotaur lords. This got me 4 Rageblood Shaman, 4 Kragma Warcaller and 3 Felhide Petrifier. After that I started a search for minotaur-tribe only. 4 Boros Reckoner made it's way into the deck as well as 3 Cursed Minotaur, 4 Gnarled Scarhide for early pressure and 4 Ragemonger to reduce the costs of all those spells.
4 Doom Blade and 4 Lightning Bolt closed the list.
Last I added 4 Dragonskull Summit, 4 Foreboding Ruins, 2 Graven Cairns and 3 Smoldering Marsh instead of basic lands to stabilize the manabase a little bit.
I'm not quite happy with the creature/ support spell ratio but will have to make some testgames before I can change anything here.

Cards I did look at (See sideboard):
Deathbellow Raider ... I'm no big fan of creatures that have to attack each turn.
Fanatic of Mogis ...I simply don't think this deck will produce enough devotion to make real use of this creature.
Ordruun Veteran ...Strong but to vulnerable to removal
Bloodrage Brawler ...Maybe an option instead of Cursed Minotaur tough that will have been looked at in some testgames.
Gorehorn Minotaurs ...I simply didn't have any free slots for this one.

Tests:
At the moment this deck exists only on this site and has never been played against another deck. Regardless I'm open to all suggestions and ideas that may help to further improve this deck.

How to Play

Rageblood Shaman and Kragma Warcaller provide your other creatures the power you need to rush through your opponent's defence. Felhide Petrifier can make things really ugly, especially when you get an Neheb, the Worthy on the field...first strike and deathtouch.
The rest of the deck is pretty straight forward: attack till your opponent is dead. Cursed Minotaur is a creature that can help you later on because your opponent needs 2 creatures to block him. Boros Reckoner always makes a good drop because you normally only can win (Save your opponent uses exile or normal destruction spells on him)
