It seems like a balanced card, but I don't understand the logic behind it's effect.

Intresting idea. Though, I prefer playing cards than waiting to discard. :-\

Doesn't everybody?  This guy is supposed to shine in a situation where you can't play your cards.. like if you're getting screwed by Discord.. or Silenced.. Earthquaked.. you name it.  Gives you a way to sting back at a denial deck.

Also useful for time because of the drawing power, you could intentionally fill your hand and then start bombing your opponent with these guys.. say if they had a shield that you couldn't get past by playing it.

And even if it's getting nerfed there is still Fractal.  Fill your hand with Minotaurs and then don't play them.

Should the creature be a little stronger, or the discard damage a little more?

Why would losing the ability to summon a Minotaur deal damage to the opponent?

The card is balanced.

I think :time creatures are more egyptian based. Except, for creatures that are really based on :time like fate egg.

Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, it all flows in the same direction. Exact location for :time doesn't mean s***. It's all about the progression or manipulation of time.

I agree that all of the ancient past and far out future is fair game to time.
So The Minotaur is fair game to the time traveling Time Elemental.

Fractal Minotaur ftw :P
Does the damage get reflected by reflective shield btw? Could make a weird Nightmare + Reflective Shield + Minotaur (you either get rid of crucial cards, or damage yourself ;D).

Good point, at 3 turns worth of damage per discard, this card has abnormally large synergy with fractal. I suggest reducing it to 8 and 10 damage respectively.

But the question of why discarding a minotaur would harm the opponent still has not been answered.
