Yeah, this is a Null Brooch deck as much as it is a minotaur deck xD

No reason to run Squee, Goblin Nabob, because I don't want cards in my hand for effects like Ghirapur Orrery, Case of the Crimson Pulse, and Anthem of Rakdos.

Cursed Scroll is one of the most god-awful cards I've seen in my life, and makes me think you don't know what you're talking about, unfortunately. Also doesn't work Hellbent.

I don't want tutors or changelings (you see no Taurean Mauler either).

Note to self: need to add Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit + Murderous Redcap + any sac outlet for infinite damage combo in this build.

Thinking about removing Harsh Mentor and Taurean Mauler, but am not 100% on where to cut.

Typically, Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth would benefit you more than your opponents. Just depends on your land drops, meta and color fixing. Do note though, that sometimes those lands fall in "trap". If it helps you so much, then you have a color fixing problem. If it doesn't help you much, then why add it in for opponents? Personally, I don't ever build outside of 2 colors so I prefer to fix my colors even at the potential of helping my meta.

Regarding crop rotation, Cradle and Three Tree city are your best targets. The questions are 1) How much blue is in the meta? 2) How often does this actually help you? 3) What positions does it help you in - If you have a lot of creatures, then cradle or tree city are amazing to get with crop rotation. If not, then it's not that impactful. Give your deck some test runs with it in, and Yavimaya Hollow. that way, you have at least 3 good targets (I don't count the other yavimaya as a good target or even ancient tomb). Turn 1 crop into ancient tomb is nice, but nothing crazy and not worth the card disadvantage in my opinion, especially if blue is in the meta. You do have cavern of souls so I take that into consideration. Also, imagine trying to crop rotation into a cavern of souls only for rotation to get countered.

I would maybe add some more ramp at the 2-4 cmc slot, 3 being the sweet spot IMO in place of mana vault + grim monolith, at least as a test given you aren't trying to go super fast, just have consistent ramp (that isn't blown up from the eventual artifact destruction common in EDH while land destruction is less common)

Switching gears - Chagelings/Dinos

Chameleon Colossus - Mana sink

Changeling Berserker - ETB abuse

Realmwalker - Card advantage

Taurean Mauler - Big boy, great against storm

None of these are needed, but worth noting should you be interested.

Lastly for alternative suggestions, I would consider Heroic Intervention and Rishkar's Expertise. You already have cards that function similarly so you could swap them or add them in addition for testing. Not needed of course, but if I spend so much mana on my dinos, I wanna get something good out of them.

Let me know what you think.

Unless you absolutely just want to stay on theme, which is fine, I have some considerations for you

Blast-Furnace Hellkite is expensive, but basically the best dragon, you've seen the horrors of Terror of Mount Velus as well, so consider at least one of them. Obsidian Charmaw is also amazing at punishing nonbasic land use.

Consider throwing in some more rituals in addition to Seething Song, for stormscale scion/dragonstorm. Its overpowered but Past in Flames and Underworld BreachGC can be absurd with that.

You have almost no draw. Some dragons can help with that, or there's always wheels

I'd dump Metallic Mimic in favor of Bloodline Pretender unless you really need the lord effect since he counts a dragon no matter what zone he is in. Taurean Mauler is also nuts.

Always consider Boompile and Nevinyrral's Disk in red. you dont have any other way to handle enchantments, and they help you survive to the late game, which is important when most of your stuff is very expensive and you dont happen to have your cost reducers.

Draconic Roar and Spit Flame really weak for commander in general. maybe look at Mizzium Mortars instead.

If sarkhan ever gets big enough to be a threat something like Two-Handed Axe , Temur Battle Rage , Rush of Blood, or Fatal Frenzy can be deadly

Your creature list is a bit small consider adding a few changelings to help. Bloodline Pretender or Taurean Mauler. If you want to regularly trigger valiant having a second 0 equip artifact can help like Shuko. Something explosive could run is Blacksmith's Talent. Additionally some useful things to trigger valiant could be Collector's Cage, Ferocification, or Might of the Ancestors. For some cool equipment you could run Sword of the Animist or Hammer of Nazahn.

Spearbreaker Behemoth

Sword of Vengeance

and many more

Changeling Outcast isn't from Lord of the Rings, but you can put Army counters on it because it's also an army. You can also try Mistwalker and/or Taurean Mauler, though they aren't as evasive.

Cool list, always neat to see a strong Sauron deck!

OUT: Evolutionary Escalation, Strionic Resonator, Taurean Mauler

IN: Halana and Alena, Partners, Arwen, Weaver of Hope, Lae'zel, Vlaakith's Champion

Mauler is a single, slow burn creature with no evasion (unlike the Managorger Hydra already in the list).

The Evolutionary Escalation was a big target and doesn't provide any protection (unlike the Agitator Ant or Orzhov Advokist already in the list).

And Strionic Resonator could be good, but has limited use in this version of the deck.

Each replacement should help keep my deck moving along better than what I took out.
