Another stupid idea

I was thinking about making a {Borborygmos Enraged} deck that's all about ramping up into him then just throwing my entire hand at the opponent for an instant commander damage victory

Commander damage must be combat damage. So discarding land for damage with Borby doesn't count towards Com. Dam.

It could still be a fun deck. Just throw tons of land at the opponent.

I can throw mine in to the app if you want to look at it.  It hasn't been updated in a while, but I'm sure it will give you some ideas.

Can I get a link to this ruling?

I had a 62 land borborygmos deck. It was basically a combo deck. It was not a guaranteed combo but it used illusionist bracers  {Snake Umbra} and  {Keen Sense} to draw through my deck. The other spells were ways to either double damage or recur lands to my hand like  {Nostalgic Dreams}. It typically lethal damaged a table of 4-5 players on like turn ten.

I've always though that him combined with  {Life from the Loam} could be a fun mix. Especially if you throw in card draw and disgusting mana ramp.

104.3j In a Commander game, a player that's been dealt 21 or more combat damage by the same commander over the course of the game loses the game. (This is a state-based action. See rule 704. Also see rule 903.14.)

Loam, combined with {Snake Umbra}/{Keen Sense} or any of the lands that cycle themselves is just insanely powerful.  I've killed people from almost nowhere just by getting that to happen.  Add in {Illusionist's Bracers} for overkill.  One time I got that set up, an opponent cast a removal spell, and I killed half the table in response, just by drawing more and more land and bolting twice for each one.

Also, {Abundance} goes all wombo-combo with Umbra/Sense.  Totally worth including.
