H1v3l0rd on Life Swap Shenanigans!

Sanguine Bond is half of an instant win combo with Exquisite Blood but also Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose and Defiant Bloodlord do the same thing as Sanguine Bond. They're easier to remove, since they're creatures, but multiple instances will proc the effect more often. Consider also Tree of Perdition and Triskaidekaphobia for a laugh, or Tree of Redemption as another source of life swapping. I wouldn't recommend building around it, but if you could play Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper and somehow let the tree attack without defender, you could swing for something like 30 or 40 damage and immediately gain that much life back, so it's 40+13, then 53+13, then 66+13, and you're killing them with just some plant, some ordinary shrubbery from outside. That's such a niche combo, but if you swap someone's life to 13 that counts as them losing 27 life, so with Exquisite Blood, you would gain that much life as well. This also applies to things like Wound Reflection and my personal favorite best boy, Master of Cruelties

Nice build, this seems pretty good as a first draft.

I would get rid of the Gather the Townsfolks in favor of more Idyllic Tutors. Like, sure, it doesn't help more than one Tainted Remedy out at a time, but this deck 100% revolves around it so I think you should be making sure that you can play it in every single game. Plus having backups in case it gets destroyed can't hurt. And Gather the Townsfolk hasn't been that powerful in modern for quite a while.

Maybe you could replace the Vampire Nighthawk and Blessed Alliance (IMO your two weakest other spells) with another enchantment like Wound Reflection? That could seriously shrink your opponent's life total.

So, good deck so far, but these might help patch up the weaknesses.

Looks like fun. I think it could really benefit from Wound Reflection. Also it would seem to make sense to put in Torment of Hailfire as it synergizes well with all the additional draw you're forcing on the opposition. The new Elder Brain would also slot in nicely.

Rcale of course! Wound Reflection might be a good replacement for it, though it is a bit pricey. Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose is another possibility that's a bit less expensive, and might honestly be better for your deck.

Hello, and thank you for your reply! Truth be told, I had Mogis in this deck for the longest time. I took him out, however, because he isn't a minotaur and thus doesn't benefit from the tribal synergies in the deck. He was also kind of expensive, especially since he doesn't always have immediate board presence. You're right that his ability almost always deals 2 damage, but I never found this deck to be attritional enough to capitalize on a grindy effect like that.

I also had Whip of Erebos in this deck, but, to me at least, it faced similar problems as Mogis did, both being relatively costly cards that don't immediately impact the board. The party wide lifelink is great though. I might put it back in if sustain is needed. For now, I want to try and play a minotaur every turn for the most part.

I have considered both Hammer of Purphoros and Fervor for the deck but haven't found immediate need for them. They are always great cards to keep in mind though, as is Cover of Darkness and Goblin War Drums.

I already have Rage Reflection in the deck and I don't want Berserkers' Onslaught for that reason. Wound Reflection is a good card, but not a card I really want in this deck. especially at 6 mana.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and suggestions. I appreciate it. :)

Love this deck it's interesting to compare to my minotaur tribal deck and im curious as to why Mogis, God of Slaughter isn't in here? he's minotaur in all but typing has great utility a 7/5 BEEFstick "wink" with indestructible or hell just a enchantment that forces your opponents to choose life loss (which they will pick almost always) or sacing a creature. Both which benefits you as life loss is life loss and it ticks them ever closer to death and than your beefcakes attack putting more life loss and pressure on them, and if the for whatever reason sac a creature it one less defender to block your Angry steaks from trampling over them. Hammer of Purphoros and Fervor are other haste givers in case you dont have warcaller out and Goblin War Drums also give menace, Cover of Darkness and Intimidation both give you more evasion and Rage Reflection and Berserkers' Onslaught give you double strike. Wound Reflection also helps end things faster. Whip of Erebos can help you survive with lifelink if your finding yourself tight on life and can help bring a minotaur back for a turn.

Pls give me you thoughts on my minotaur tribal it's meant to be played differently than yours (a mid range aggro deck) and if you have any ideas let me know link: Slough of Slaughter

Blade of the Oni, Dream Devourer, Gibbering Fiend, Rakdos Firewheeler, Rakdos Headliner, Spear Spewer, Thermo-Alchemist, Witty Roastmaster, and Kardur's Vicious Return are not very good imo.

Scourge of the Skyclaves is just an expensive combo with Wound Reflection. Havoc Festival is slightly cheaper and better in most situations, especially in chaos.

Syphon Mind is better than Blightning. Banefire is better than Demonfire. Malakir Rebirth  ^Flip is better than Demonic Gifts. Curtains' Call is better than Murder. Baleful Mastery is better than Doom Blade.
