Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Using the cost reductions from Hazoret's monument and Ragemonger, most of your minotaurs cost little to no mana. Cycle through your deck with the Monument and Vanquishers Banner and Impact Tremor for the win, or smash face with a bunch of beefy hasty tramply minotaur!

Deck discussion for Monumental Minotaurs!

instead of unclaimed territory, I'd look at using Ancient Ziggarot. It's basically the same, but for any creature, so if late you need to put in a non Bull, you can. other than that, I think it looks like a fun deck. let me know how it goes in your local competitive circles!

The reason I'm using Unclaimed Territory over Ancient Ziggurat is because Unclaimed Territory can still tap for colorless to help cast my artifacts. It also helps keep the deck more budget friendly :)

I would consider:
Ahn-Crop Crasher
Boros Reckoner (Yes it's mana cost is reduced by Ragemonger)
Fellhide Spiritbinder, spitting out a phantasmal image each untap step is solid
Frontline Devastator
Gorehorn Minotaurs
lastly, Zealot of the God-Pharoh. He's mana efficient for a mino at 4 for 4/3, but his ability gives you a means to spend your excess mana

Then I'd take out burning fist(too weak), 1 monument (since it's legendary), and swap a single tremor for a faithless looting.

As for what to switch around for different minos besides the burning fist? Idk for sure. Scarhide maybe, since ragemonger won't affect is bestow casting.

I do like most of those, and even thought about adding a few to the deck, but the main thing is to keep mana cost to a minimum. The reason for all of the 4 of creatures is because with a monument and a Ragemonger on the field their casting cost is reduced to 0. I'd have to add a card like heartless summoning to make that work, but as minotaurs are very strong to begin with, I didn't want to lose out on even more power curve.

The only 2 that aren't 100% free are Kragma, and Rageblood, but as lords their effects on the rest of the creatures are to powerful to pass up. And, if you get an additional Ragemonger on the field Rageblood's casting cost does go to 0 anyways.

The other consideration was splitting it 2 of Hazoret's monument, and 2 of Bontu's monument, [reduces black creatures cost by 1, and drains for 1 whenever a creature ETB] which, would give another win condition and open the door to a few more 0 casting cost mino's

Hmm yeah I spose if you're going for the endless drop combo with 0 cmc and tremor yeah it would be hard to fit in the bigger guys, or too many of them anyways.

Flameshadow Conjuring Might be a useful addition..?
It combos nicely with the free creatures and card drawing,

That is a cool card, unfortunately Monument and Banner say 'whenever a creature is cast' otherwise I'd definitely try to find some room for it. There's also a legendary minotaur, so if that came into play I couldn't clone it anyways.

I think that there are too many creatur3s and not enough lands. Though I know that this is a creature deck, you may want to fix that.

This is the first deck I've liked in a long time(couple of years maybe; guess there aren't many creative competitive budget folks going around). However, it might want a way to generate value from the draw so that you don't have to deduct a point to you hand size. Either way great job and thank you for the spark of motivation to continue deck building.

Thanks for noticing, and the comment. I have literally 3 pages of unpublished deck ideas on this site. All synergy ideas, or works in progress, I really do enjoy brewing up fun decks, and if they're budget it's all the better!
