Cursed Minotaur enters as a 3/2 with menace and deathtouch — a combination that makes it nearly unblockable in practice, since any creature that trades with it dies. Three mana for that stat line is fair, and in Sethron, Hurloon General it pulls double duty as both a threat and a Minotaur tribal piece.

Sethron, Hurloon General
Sethron, Hurloon General triggers off every nontoken Minotaur you cast, and Cursed Minotaur's menace plus deathtouch makes the resulting tokens harder to profitably block — the combination turns a go-wide token board into a genuine combat puzzle for opponents.

Cursed Minotaur is legal in every relevant format but is essentially a Commander and Pauper card — the two formats where its modest stats and tribal tag can matter. In Pauper it rarely sees play, since the format rewards efficient interaction over medium-sized creatures. In Commander, it earns a slot only in dedicated Minotaur tribal lists where Sethron, Hurloon General is generating additional value off the cast trigger; outside tribal, a vanilla 3/2 with a keyword bundle doesn't move the needle at three mana.

Price Context
Current price
$0.09 bulk tier
At $0.09, Cursed Minotaur is deep bulk — easy to pick up as a throw-in or from a common box. Bulk commons with narrow tribal applications don't appreciate, so there's no reason to stock up beyond the copies you actually need.
