So there will be clearly over 99 cards in main board, and I want you guys to help me cut out the weaker cards.

Gimme a bit of time and I'll look over this thing. A lot of people's decks are getting lost in the rush of new Gatecrash decks. Hell, I made a new deck and it got buried in just a few minutes =/

Hrm...Normally I would say you should cut back on the land count, but in this case, it might be better for you to hang on to the higher land count, as those are your bread and butter with Borby. However, I might suggest you cut down a little bit. Perhaps 2? 46 lands is REALLY high, even for a deck that needs them like this one, and 44/55 is a much nicer ratio for your 99 =]

One card that definitely stands out to me as a tossout is Prismatic Omen. You have plenty of mana fixing in this deck, hell you have mana coming out the wazoo!

Chain Reaction never works, believe me...Blasphemous Act is just the better of the two, and you should just stick to using it as your only "oh shit" spell. Besides, you have the Stone and Borby able to blast crap away with ease, so removal isn't a huge worry here.

Weird as it might sound, I don't think you need Explosive Veggies. You want spells that put lands into your hand, not necessarily ones that just put them into play, you have things that let you do that FROM your hand.

You have GSZ, which is just better in every way than Chord of Calling, and having both doesn't really help you, especially with all the card drawing and library cycling you do. I'd ditch the Chord.

So that leaves us with one last thing to toss...I personally think you should consider ditching either Basilisk Collar or Snake Umbra. They just aren't quite good enough to merit their use I think. Another possible one is Storm Cauldron. I'm on the fence with it to be honest. It could prove a great trick for both offensive and defensive shenanigans, but it could also bite you in the ass =/

Well in one way or another, that'll bring you down to the happy number of 99. You got a cool deck going here man. I don't think it's like most Borby Enraged decks I've been seeing either, so props for that. If you need any other advice lemme know =]

Hope I helped =]

Thanks, I totally agree with the cards you were saying to cut. Now that I look at it closer it makes sense to get rid of them. Thanks for commenting back, needed that help. If you come up with any cards in mind that will improve this even more. I decided to cut collar over snake umbra cause I think the untapped lands will help me out more. And to keep cauldron cause I think late game that will be a great finisher when I want to finish off the player

I'm going to be updating this deck shortly (getting advice from friends), so surewhynot, if you could do another edit when that time comes that would be great. I guess check on it in a day or so.

I ran the original Borborygmos as my original RG general, but had problems with his high mana-cost. Switching to Stonebrow really helped my deck, and Borborygmos is still in the deck. Nice to see a deck built around the new one however.

Looks really good, I have a couple questions on card choices.
1. Elderscale wurm- This guy just doesn't do much and will probably get caught up in a wrath.
2. Vinelasher Kudzu- If you want a guy that just gets big quick why not try primodial hydra.
3. blood moon/ magus of the moon- these cards are a bit cut throat for my meta, regardless they shut off you valakut which has gotten the win for me more than any other cards in the deck. Add in scapeshift and prismatic omen and its really deadly.
Overall very strong build imho, nice job!

So my minds a blank on why I threw in Elderscale wurm. I had a good reason to, but can not seem to remember anything right now. (studying for an exam atm). As for Blood Moon/ Magus- These guys are very situational. In my Meta alot of people play more non-basics then anything else. So shutting them down from there helps alot to set up for the big win. I did look into scapeshift, but instead of onto the battlefield lands I went into my hand, because thats where I want my lands to be. on the battelfied they are only good as for mana, I wont be able to use borborgymous ability. and also they come into play tapped which is a no no for me :(

Wurm is more for a Protective state card. If you have any suggestions for a better protection. that would help

If your looking for another card that could fill vinelashers role check out primordial hydra or terravore. Both can bejust as big if not bigger and they have trample. As far as a replacement for the Wurn you can try knollspine dragon. Now it isn't a protective card but it has potential to refill your hand pretty easily in this deck.
