Title: New Borborygmos Burn Combo (Non-Standard)
Post by: KulrathKnight on November 20, 2012, 12:27:33 AM
The card: {Borborygmos Enraged}

"Trample
Whenever Borborygmos Enraged deals combat damage to a player, reveal the top three cards of your library. Put all land cards revealed this way into your hand and the rest into your graveyard.
Discard a land card: Borborygmos Enraged deals 3 damage to target creature or player.
P/T:            7/6"

The combo: + {Fastbond} + {Gruul Turf} + {Crucible of Worlds}. Deals 1 to you, 3 to them. Repeat.

Being that he costs so much I see him as quite a crazy general in commander. Have a deck devoted to lands and you ramp into him to him real fast and with cards like crucible and {life from loam} you could easily do 21 general damage up to three turns. Ban hammer worthy maybe?

But isn't General damage accumulated only from combat? I thought using abilities and non-combat damage didn't add to the total the General "dealt" you.

Correct but he said 3 turns so I assume he meant attacking 3 times.
