Mino tribal in-block. Doesn't do too much to help Boros Reckoner but that card is busted enough as-is.

One of the two naked minotaurs. The other being the one on Didgeridoo.

Now we just need a few more black minotaurs to make this really good
No more laughing at Minotaurs being a rubbish tribe!

I can't actually think of any other cost-reduction cards that both lessen colored mana and allow you to drop the cost below 1. Free stuff is not something Wizards lets us play with often short of Kobolds, Ornithopter, and Memnite (Yeah, yeah, and Shield Sphere and others, I know). With good reason, given that whole Affinity thing and how that turned out. Or, on the spells side, Storm. Things we get to cast for little to no mana investment are dangerous stuff.
Still, great self-synergy and external synergy, for sure. Being able to play one, then drop another for 1 colorless is pretty crazy, and then you get to the other guys he pours out.
Aluren is already busted in half, but if you want to play some sort of kitchen-table black-eye simulator, go for it the same way particularly abusive Animar decks do.
Also, a convoluted use for Conspiracy and any myriad color-swapping Blue spells.

Haha, @Nucleon, your post is exactly long enough to make Gatherer extend the final period into "... (see all)"!

He doesn't walk edges anymore. He tramples them.

It is Minotaur Edgewalker, what's not to love? This will see play. Lots of it.

Ragemonger + Rakdos, Lord of Riots = Free minotaurs in standard. I'm blowing my tax return on a new deck.

Only the second creature in Magic's 13,000+ card history with an ability like this. The first was Edgewalker.
@Steaditup: I wouldn't say that. Drop this guy on turn 3 and you can follow up with two Boros Reckoners on turn 4!

Comboes with other Ragemongers. 1 mana 2/3 anyone? Too bad they were careful with double mana symbols on this set either because they were afraid of devotion overload or because they wanted minotaurs to be more easy to cast. Still pretty much a must-have in any minotaur-deck. Now I just need a playset of Read the Bones so I can draw some cards after I've emptied it to flood the battlefield with minotaurs.
