Red/Black Minotaurs Aggro Decks are fun!


Hey guys, been a long time since I've posted anything, mostly because life and work are catching up with me and I am kind of lazy. Lately I've been focusing my energy into play Magic the Gathering, so I thought I'd post up the deck that I've been playing with as of late and see what anyone thinks of it. Most of my decks are poop so I think this is the best one I've made so far...

So a few weeks ago I got tired of getting my ass kicked with my Red/Green deck that I've been playing with a lot, so I decided to make a deck for shits and giggles. At first my Minotaur deck was shit, I barely got anything out and it mostly just pooped on itself before anything could happen. Until one day I realized something, "Maybe I should run four Minotaur Skullcleaver's and get rid of this crap that's not working!"

So I did.

Did it work?

Yeah, I played it the next week in standard and hilarity ensued. People kept asking me, "What deck are you playing?" And I was like, "It's a surprise!" I would drop a Minotaur and they'd be like, "WTF MATE!" That week I won two packs of booster packs because I placed 7th. It's the only time I've ever placed.

Let's break the deck down:

Creatures:

4x Gnarled Scarhide
2x Deathbellow Raider
2x Felhide Petrifier
4x Ragemonger
4x Rageblood Shaman
2x Kragma Warcallers
4x Minotaur Skullcleaver
1x Boltwing Marauder
2x Mogis, God of Slaughter
1x Erebos, God of the Dead

Instants:

3x Wild Slash
3x Lightning Strike
2x Magma Jet
2x Stoke the Flame
2x Hero's Downfall

Sorcery:

1x Read the Bones

Artifacts/Enchantments:

1x Obelisk of Urd
1x Whip of Erebos

Lands:

8x Swamps (foiled)
7x Mountains
4x Temples of Malice
2x Bloodstained Mire

I like my deck, it's fun when it works, I just can't do anything against a control deck. I've seen a lot of Minotaur decks on youtube, but none of them even come close to this deck in terms of flexibility or aggressiveness. I also managed to beat a Soul Sisters deck with this deck, which was cool.

Looking forward, I may be writing a lot more about MTG, so if you guys like it let me know in the comments.
