I'm a big fan of the minotaur tribe. Im unsure what competition your casual meta will have at your lgs. I normally do black red minotaurs so mono reds a little out of my norm but here are a few suggestions.

Generally good minotaurs:

Sethron, Hurloon General 5 drop makes all nontoken Mintotaurs bring a buddy and gives a buff.

Neheb, Dreadhorde Champion looting with ramp is powerful.

Fanatic of Mogis deals damage on etb. Then is a threatening body.

Rageblood Shaman trample and pump

A one card finisher type card may be helpful. Stormbreath Dragon was my unexpected hasty flier when I had a standard minotaur deck I'm khans of tarkir block long time ago. Some big unexpected spell or creature can help you get the last few points of damage in.

Other notes
Focus your deck. If you want to focus instant and sorcerys run some of the prowess minotaurs. If you want looting you can run the creatures that benefit from that. General minotaur tribal cut down some instant and sorcerys.

Cut your average cmc down. I don't like Dreamshaper Shaman unless it's to combo. Too expensive for what it does. Skophos Maze-Warden is OK as far as minotaurs go but you might as well run the land it mentions.

I'd also suggest going from casual to a more structured format. Pioneer or modern or legacy are my suggestions. Also in order of price low to high. Standard does not currently have a minotaur deck to my knowledge otherwise that may be cheapest. Happy brewing.

I took that to mean, referencing a specific non-Legendary Land, like Skophos Maze-Warden, not simply referencing like a basic land type, or even "basic Forest" like Nissa, Vastwood Seer  ^Flip.

I did this with both a land I think should be legendary and one that certainly isn't.

Szadek, Ameliorator of Knowledge

Legendary Creature - Vampire Wizard

Flying, Skulk

If a player would lose life, instead that player puts that many cards from the top of his or her library into his or her graveyard.

Whenever a card enter the graveyard from an opponent's graveyard, you may untap Duskmantle, House of Shadow.

Then a clearly non-legendary land:

Thalia, Savior of Gavony

Legendary Creature - Human Soldier

Double Strike, Vigilance

Players can only cast noncreature spells during their own turn.

Spells a your opponents cast cost for each land you control named Gavony Township.

2/4

I'd like a common which cares about either number of cards in exile or in a library.

Also food for thought, since you are running 4xLabyrinth of Skophos(awesome card choice) have you thought about maybe adding 3x or 4xSkophos Maze-Warden w/ maybe a couple of Maniacal Rages? it's a good eff-u low maintenance creature control.
