Minotaur Disruption —Nov. 23, 2014

I decided to return both Despise and Thoughtseize to main. I've found out that the deck plays pretty much better with hand disruption since it could get rid of things the deck can't answer or difficult to remove on the board.

Also updated the sideboard

Stain the Mind - my answer against combo decks (I'm looking at you Jeskai Ascendancy). Pretty much messes them up when you remove win-cons and key cards. The cows can delay an attack turn to take away those cards.

Dictate of the Twin Gods - a surprise finisher. It could win games almost instantly when not countered.

Hero's Downfall - gets rid of monsters and planeswalkers.

I have a very similar deck Minotaur Tribal-Khans take a look and tell me what I am missing. Thanks. I like the Thoughtseize + Titan's Strength ideas.

Thanks!! I'll be looking at your horde as well.

Oh wow, you're still at it. I gave up on minotaurs with rotation. Although, I really do think Whip of Erebos and Twinflame would do well in this deck. Both could potentially let you attack all-out into a stalled boardstate (like vs. Hornet Queen) without fear of losing your lords completely.

@Riktasi

Thanks!!

I'm actually considering those cards, most probably as a sideboard, although the whip could go to main and replace Mogis.

I was also thinking maybe Coordinated Assault instead of those Rouse the Mob and maybe Fall of the Hammer in the side for some deathtouch shenanigans. Shaman already gives trample, and the strive is expensive on that spell. Coordinated Assault could also make Deathbellow's forced attack be productive against a 3/3 blocker like Mantis Rider or Fleecemane.

@Riktasi

I was actually thinking the same about Coordinated Assault since because of Felhide Petrifier it will be cow surprise of First Strike and Deathtouch.

Thoughtseize and and despize are an idea low costing cards and removal from hand is a good idea

@Redbullrebel00

Yes. They are actually possible in main, although you may have to remove the boost spells to make room for it.
