You've never heard of Willow Elf, Muck Rats, Mons's Goblin Raiders, Eager Cadet, Metallic Sliver, Merfolk of the Pearl Trident, Wandering Ones or Dwarven Trader?

I was always a big fan of Lotus Vale and Scorched Ruins; those are flat-out cool cards. But you got me thinking. Why not include some way to untap lands - say, Voyaging Satyr or Garruk Wildspeaker - to make the most of them? Getting four mana out of Scorched Ruins is good, but eight is even better. You could also find room for Golgari Rot Farm that way, which has its drawback lessened by The Gitrog Monster anyway.

I think you'd also love Dust Bowl - it gives you a way to repeatedly put lands from both you and your opponent in the graveyard!

If you're planning to empty everyone's hands, then Howltooth Hollow might come in handy!

For more Minotaur tribal, Adaptive Automaton, Cover of Darkness and Door of Destinies all have potential. You could also get some pretty powerful abilities on Cairn Wanderer, especially if you're making your opponent discard his expensive creatures before he can play them.

No Triassic Egg? No Pygmy Allosaurus in the sideboard? I feel there's room for improvement!

@Mage_Mystic_ Maybe I'm missing something here, but isn't reanimating two copies of a legendary creature something best avoided?

If you were interested in an easy way to farm those experience counters, Conviction, Mourning and Flickering Ward are all reasonable options.

Another card that really combos well with Phyrexian Unlife is Dark Tutelage. That should speed your deck right up, getting two cards a turn for basically no cost.

You sure you have enough ways to damage your opponent so that you may play Rakdos? Most things here are five or more mana...

Looking at your mana curve, though, I think this deck might make good use of Pyromancy! If all of the cards in your hand are too big to play, it can still score 10 or more damage for 3 mana. And hey, if Rakdos is out, that can pretty much guarantee you can play everyone else in your hand.
