If flavor text won games, this would be a standard bomb. Sadly it does not so it sucks.

I want to sit across from each person who has previously commented on this card for a limited game and beat their face in with canyon minotaur.

Interesting to see what each color gets for 3C in M11 at common. Red gets this, Black gets Neither Horror, Blue gets Azure Drake, Green gets Giant Spider, and white gets Assault Griffin. Still not a great card, but an important part of defining what each color does.

Uninspired and meh.
Yep it's not crappy in Limited.
Amazingly, it could have been somewhat playable outside of limited and still been good in limited.

I hate how M11 was essentially a reprint of M10 with a few new cards...

Why does Hill Giant still exist?

Minotaurs should get more tribal support and better minotaurs!

At the very least, he has cool horns.

Interesting in limited, good flavour text and nice art.
For the rest, your standard vanilla cream., 2/5

I don't mind paying the extra 1 mana for the awesome flavor text :D

I wish he had an ability. Even if it was a copy of Cyclops Gladiator's ability. Especially if it was a copy of Cyclops Gladiator's ability.

He has great art and an amazing flavor text, and he can use equipment, but not even Umezawa's Jitte makes this playable. And that's saying something. I'd rather play something less ridiculous like Goblin Balloon Brigade.

@Chamale while that might be the case i belive you also have to consider rarity when determining how beter a card is.

I give this card props for the awesome flavor text and decent art. You gotta have basic commons guys... not every card can be mythic.

2.5/5 - This is as vanilla as it gets.

@Chamale
Really dude? You search for an entire list of cards(mostly rares and uncommons) that are better than a core set filler common? And also, I don't think Steamflogger Boss is strictly better as there are no other contraptions and no other Riggers. Also, the flavor is awesome.
@Dr Fletchers
Nope. Gorehorn Minotaurs have RedRed in the mana cost.

I love this card's flavor so much.. I don't play it in Magic, but it's become my favorite bookmark.

Spiritmonger boils up a nice stew with these and some golden yukon potatoes to get all the flavour out of the bones and horns.
