Hello everyone. Ever since Theros block, I had a very budget Minotaur deck I played with casually. After Amonkhet we were blessed with some new Minotaurs, and I've been piloting this deck ever since for causal, multiplayer, and now Modern. I understand Modern is a hyper competitive format, and this deck will be outshined often. But since the deck is Modern legal I figured I would post it.
So I don't want to blow a bunch of money on this deck with fetch and shock lands, Cavern of Souls, Aether Vial, etc. I'm trying to keep it as budget as possible. These are some edits I have in mind:
Graven Cairns - Recently reprinted and a very fine mana fixing land for 2-3$ a piece. Probably for sure going to try and pick a playset of these up.
Canyon Slough - Could be nice even without Fetch lands due to the cycling. Not as confident in this one.
Gnarled Scarhide - I have a playset but I'm not sure if a 2/1 I can't block with is really worth it. Sure it's another Minotaur and the only one at cmc1, but my deck is kind of slow as is and I think I would rather be turn 1 Duressing someone to cripple their early game. Still might be worth testing.
Burning-Fist Minotaur - Seems like a decent 2cmc option but I haven't played around with it. I'm not sure if it's better than the Deathbellow Raider though.
