Canyon Minotaur
Creature — Minotaur Warrior
Boza on Arena "Modern"

Also, none of this answers the question - why do modern in arena at all? Arena is wildly successful as is, so why do such extraordinary amount of work for almost no gain? Modern will not work with the economy of Arena - there is no existing way to monetize these additions (can you imagine the shop having 80 sets of booster packs to choose from?), so why do it?
There is one way though - it is called Modern Horizons and specialized, curated set of cards enter the card pool.
As was mentioned, nobody playing Modern will care if Canyon Minotaur is programmed in Arena or not. However, what Arena can get is a set like Modern Horizons that introduces staples from Modern to the game.
Sure, that will result in Arena Modern, which will be different from paper Modern, but it is the only feasible way to do it.

clayperce the flavour text on Canyon Minotaur was the first I ever read and it intrigued me.
I used it in decks I played against my friend JUST so I could read it while playing. Those were the days.
I have HEAPS of 2/3 Minotaur Tokens from a 60 card casual Minotaur deck I have. Gotta get 'em out with Flurry of Horns played off the back of Oracle of Bones.
Play Felhide Petrifier, attach Cobbled Wings and BOOM! you've got yourself a Flying Minotaur with Deathtouch.
Did you know there are also 3/3 Minotaur Tokens? They look ugly though, so I WON'T be buying any.
I did not know about Didgeridoo. What that has to do with Minotaurs is a mystery. They are Graeco-Roman, not Australian. Looks like I have a few more cards I need to gather. Luckily I already have Mogis.
Not only is it compulsory for Aussies to play Didgeridoo, we are also required to play Boomerang.
I met a guy at our new EDH play group who was rocking a Mogis mat and apparently has an EDH Minotaur deck.
We had a lot to talk about and I hope to play against his deck soon.

Argeaux,
The deck may play sucky, but I've no doubt it will actually be spectacular ... if nothing else, for the flavor text of Canyon Minotaur!
Good luck finding 2/3 Minotaur tokens for Flurry of Horns!
P.S. Isn't there a law or something that Aussie Magic players have to run Didgeridoo at least once in their life? :-D

Canyon Minotaur was the first Magic card I ever read, so it sticks with me to this day.
There are plenty of serious lines that come to mind, but the most chilling might be on Fate Unraveler.
