Penny Dreadful Minotaurs

I loved playing Minotaur Tribal during Theros Standard, so when I saw that all my favorite Minotaurs were available in Penny Dreadful, I just had to brew up a list. The basic strategy is to play Minotaurs, attack with Minotaurs, and to occasionally play a burn or removal spell to get rid of those annoying blockers.

Reasons for playing each card:

Ragemonger -- The premier Tribal Leader; makes your minotaurs easier to cast

Kragma Warcaller -- The second Tribal Leader; helps finish off games quickly by making your minotaurs scary attackers

Rageblood Shaman -- This nice minotaur makes sure you get damage through

Felhide Petrifier -- This not-so-nice minotaur can either make your opponents hesitate to block, or make sure that when you block it means something

Gorehorn Minotaurs -- A 4-drop 5/5 seems pretty decent to me

Felhide Brawler -- His downside isn't that bad in a deck full of minotaurs; plus he's a decent 2-drop

Deathbellow Raider -- A decent 2-drop who's downside isn't that bad in an aggro deck

Lightning Strike -- Because Bolt costs more than a penny

Flame Burst -- Because I wanted more than 4 copies of Lightning Strike, and this was the best substitute I could find

Burst Lightning -- Yet another Bolt subsitute

After getting some advice on Reddit, I've decided to cut Mogis's Marauder, Ultimate Price, and Terror. In their places are Deathbellow Raider and Burst Lightning. Hopefully this allows me to have more efficient attackers, as well as not having dead cards in my hand.
