His name is an actual English word which means “a rumbling or gurgling noise made by the movement of fluid and gas in the intestines.”Happy Birthday!

Reprint Flavor Words Potential

Could a reprinted card get a description ability? Like if you reprint Borborygmos Enraged could his second ability where you discard a land to deal damage get the description of “throw rocks” or something like that?

In theory, flavor words can be added or removed, as they have no actual mechanical relevance.

Rom-Com Set Idea

One of the joys of this blog is jumping into it after a few days away and seeing the current “hot topic” be completely and utterly surreal, and you have to scroll through dozens of questions to work out how it started.So… i feel the next Ravnica set needs to be a top-down Rom com set starring Borborygmos.

If they would let me do a rom com top-down set, I would do it in a heart beat.

Trivia on Ruric Thar, Borborygmos

Hi MaRo! I've been playing magic since Ixalan, and I've only just learned you answer questions here on this blog. May I redeem a birthday late-pass and ask for some trivia on either of my two favorite big fellows in magic, Ruric Thar or Borborygmos?

Bornorygmos is a real word meaning “a rumbling in the stomach”. Happy Belated Birthday!

Appreciation for 'Unsanctioned' Game Format

I LOVE UNSANCTIONED! Especially Flavor Judge (aka Vorthos's UnCard) since I invented a Format like it during Onslaught! I felt that Remove Soul shouldn't counter Soulless One, Akroma's Vengeance shouldn't destroy her or Ixidor, Lay Waste shouldn't destroy Wasteland, etc. You can choose to play Flavor(or flip a coin)before any game. You all must agree on something making sense(Like Borborygmos wielding Chariot Of Victory as a fist weapon)or it happens normally. Try it, all my play groups love it!

Happy to hear that.

Borborygmos Name Origin

Hey, Mark. I'm a huge fan of your work from Argentina :D I always suspected you named the giant Borborygmos. It just seems like your kind of humor. Is that the case?

I did not (it means “the rumbling of the stomach”), but I appreciated the name.

Combat Damage Effects

Re: all damage is combat damage effect. This would wreak havoc in commander. Take borborygmos enraged for example. "Discard a land, borbor seals 3 damage to an opponent" currently is not a great win condition, but if you made it all count as combat damage it would make it so if you filled your hand with lands and discarded 7, you would win by commander damage. There are quite a few effects like that and it could really upset balances.

It’s the kind of effect that could potentially break a number of things.

Guild Leaders Naming

Why don't Zegana, Borborygmos, or Lazav have other cards named after them like the other 7 guild leaders do?

Isn’t wasn’t something conscious. Each card was named independently and a bunch made sense referencing the guild leader.
