Geez, so many great cards in Gatecrash have such mediocre ratings. Are there that many haters nowadays? This guy deserves at least 3.8, even if he's not quite as good as his former self. He's like a Valakut in creature form that doesn't care if those lands are Mountains, and gets around the one-land-per-turn restriction.

I'm testing him in standard reanimator, a deck that usually runs 4 Mulch. Borborgymos can turn lategame mulches into bolts. However it's mostly just a 1-of as you don't want to see multiples; you will only have so many lands in your hand.
One of the cool things about him is how his abilities interact with each other. None of them are that good on their own, but the synergy they have makes him worth looking into. For example, when he attacks and an opponent tries to set up blocks (say he blocks with a restoration angel and a thragtusk), you can bolt something to not only keep borborgymos alive, but trample over damage to do his mini mulch.

He gets both red and green when he gets angry...don't make him angry, you wouldn't LIKE him when he's angry. All that being said, this guy is awesome and with Creeping Renaissance and some sifting, he is also a potential game winner. Oh yeah, and the art...awesome, I mean hitting someone with a tree now that is clearly what Bobo would do for a Klondike bar.

Flavor seems to be that the lands the Planeswalker knew were destroyed by him, and that the carnage to it's inhabitants is represented by the "lightning bolts" you get in the game.
Quite good if you can provide him fuel. Nothing fancy needed, just good ol' card draw. Fancy stuff does make him a near-instant win con.

I really like this card. He's just a little overcosted, or a little too weak. At that mana, he could have haste, or he could cost 1 less mana and not be broken. 4.5/5

pfft, more like Borborygmos Engorged.
every time i play this card, i just wish he was something more. mana ramping to get him out hurts the fact that i'm suppose to be pulling out lands from my deck when he hits people. so basically, it just reads, "mill the top three cards of your library". i can see his use with pyrewild shaman and flashback cards, but in extended right now it's tough to play this card, even with possibility storm--you don't want to have too many of him in the deck because then you can't play other creatures without killing him off.

Put a bunch of Creature cards in the GY, then play Grim Flowering and you should have a nice amount of lands to activate his ability with! Smash!
