My first attempt at an EDH deck.

I've wanted to build an EDH deck for a while now, and while Borborygmos Enraged isn't exactly a Standard staple, I like him - so I've given him a shot. Basically, I have a lot of cards that put lands into my hand, a lot of cards that put land onto the battlefield, and an Elf-based ramp strategy to move things along.

Bear in mind also that I'm only using cards in my collection, if I had access to Crucible of Worlds, Oracle of Mul Daya, and Azusa, Lost but Seeking, I'd play them, but I don't, so this is it.

My ramping targets, aside from Borborygmos himself, include Savageborn Hydra (which should be able to come in pretty huge, with Rogue's Passage for support); Sylvan Primordial, which should help get rid of troublesome permanents; and Kalonian Hydra, which, along with Hammer of Purphoros, should be able to deal plenty of damage in a short space of time.

I've also included several ways to provide double strike to my heavy hitters, as I can only see this being a positive thing. This is based off a deck by Bennie Smith on StarCityGames.com, but modified to accommodate my limited card pool.

I'm hoping I can pull some wins out with this little puppy! I figure it will at least act as a decent entry into the world of EDH, and I certainly plan on building more decks and increasing my card collection in the future.
