Raging Minotaur is a 3/2 with first strike and trample for four mana — a stat line and keyword package that was mediocre at printing and has only fallen further behind. Nearly every red two-drop outclasses it today, and no competitive shell wants a vanilla-adjacent four-drop that doesn't affect the board beyond combat.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Raging Minotaur is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legality and playability are different things. In Pauper, where the common-card restriction tightens the pool, red still has access to far more efficient creatures at the same cost. In Commander, a 3/2 body dies to a stiff breeze in a format where board states routinely involve 5/5s and larger by turn four. Legacy and Vintage don't run it — those formats demand either free interaction or threats that close games immediately, and Raging Minotaur does neither.

Price Context
Current price
unknown tier
Pricing data isn't available for Raging Minotaur at the moment, but as a bulk common with no competitive demand, copies routinely turn up in dollar bins and bulk lots for pennies. There is no meaningful floor to protect here — pick it up if a Minotaur tribal build genuinely needs the slot, otherwise skip it.
