Journey Into Nyx Intro Pack - Voracious Rage
Journey Into Nyx Intro Pack - Voracious Rage
The "Voracious Rage" deck boasts a horde of powerful and aggressive Minotaurs. Many of these creatures bolster your other Minotaurs and make them truly ferocious in combat. Build up a formidable force, and then smash your opponents down.
Your Minotaurs boost each other in a variety of ways. Ragemonger decreases the cost of all your other Minotaurs, allowing you to swarm your opponents before they can set up their defenses. Kragma Warcaller and Rageblood Shaman make your Minotaurs bigger as well as granting haste and trample, respectively. Felhide Petrifier gives your Minotaurs deathtouch, which allows them to take down an opponent's larger creatures and also works wonders with trample.
This deck wants to end the game quickly, but sometimes you will want to hold your forces back for a few turns until they reach a critical mass. You have a number of spells at your disposal that can remove opposing creatures while your Minotaurs do battle. These spells, such as Magma Spray and Starfall, should primarily be used on creatures you can't block, as your Minotaur army will likely be able to handle anything on the ground.
Mogis, God of Slaughter from the Born of the Gods set would be a great addition to this deck. Mogis forces your opponent to sacrifice precious blockers or take damage each turn, and it's a brutal attacker if your devotion to black and red is high enough. Boros Reckoner from the Gatecrash™ set is a powerful Minotaur that plays both offense and defense well. With both first strike and an ability to deal damage in retribution, it's great for smashing into your opponent as well as discouraging attackers while you assemble a team of Minotaurs.
