Ummm....Tranquil Thicket and Forgotten Cave ? They Combo with Life from the Loam ... Play life from the loam, Returning 1 cycle land and 2 others. Discard the two others to borb. Cycle the land, Dredge Life from the loam. Get more lands back to your hand. Repeatable 6 damage for 3 mana? Yes please

oh god, i totally forgot about that combo. I used to use is in the deck I stole my loam from. thanks for reminding me

I don't think you have enough lands.

yeah, in the actual build I'm missing a few of the cards so there are actually like 85-90ish lands

hahahaha

You should run Sasaya, Orochi Ascendant for tons of mana ramp. Maybe some X spells or Kessig Wolf Run too for mana sinks. +1

yeah, wolf run for sure would be awesome

Storm Cauldron would be a blast. As well as some good 'ol card draw Wheel of Fortune maybe?

Actually my favorite card draw in red is probably Knollspine Dragon ...which could easily be a winner with borby

i like the dragon, but the wheel is a bit more than I want to be spending here

+1 just for BERBERGERMERS!!!! <3

man, Borby enchanted with Snake Umbra is potentially an automatic game ender if you get lucky with the draws. +1

or if i have more than one land in hand, and chances are that i'll be hitting lands almost every time

I second Kessig Wolf Run since you should be making all your land drops.

Dragon Mage, Reforge the Soul, Infiltration Lens, a way to give him double-strike for more draw power

As a side note, it's too bad Treasure Hunt can't be in this deck.

Hunter's Insight, Keen Sense, Snake Umbra

Now THAT is what I call a budget deck.

The only reason Life from the Loam was included is because I already had one...

Scouting Trek to set up the kill with all your damage = draw

meh, chances are that I'll be drawing lands or things that find lands since there are 85 lands to look for and only 4 things that won't get me more when I play them

maybe Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle and Crucible of Worlds?

I like the valakut, cruicble on the other hand costs about as much as the rest of the deck combined

well i was thinking you could sac the lands with borborygmos, and then play them to trigger valakut so that you get 6 damage per land rather than just 3. i would also want to maybe add in more draw artifacts. things like Horn of Greed, Font of Mythos, Howling Mine, Otherworld Atlas, and Temple Bell to draw more lands to discard, and to go through your deck quickly to find snake umbra.

but you are right, Crucible of Worlds is not the cheapest card in the world. it would speed up the deck quite a bit, but just having valakut would be a nice alternate win con in case people are just hating on good old borby. i would for sure think about those draw artifacts, though.

this deck just wouldn't work if it wasn't so weak. People always leave it for last since it can't really do much. I can't go making it too good...

oh wait, nvm. i thought it read differently. dang it.
