-Removed a forest and put it Gratuitous Violence. This will double Borbor's damage from discarding and make a devastatingly strong combo. With Borborygmos Enraged + Gratuitous Violence + Illusionist's Bracers discarding 1 land card will result in 12 damage.
-Exchanged The Mending of Dominaria with Snake Umbra. This will replenish my hand everytime I discard a land to do damage by drawing me a card. Also it is a second layer of defense for Bobor. If an opponent were to board wipe or target Borbor the enchantment will allow him to remain on the battlefield.
-Exchanged Centaur Vinecrasher for Tireless Tracker. This will allow for more card draw and just like the other landfall effects, it could potentially become a very threatening board presence very quickly.
-Exchanged Howling Mine for Basilisk Collar. This will allow Borbor to eliminate any threats on the board by discarding a land and killing before combat damage can be done. Also the lifelink will make every discard have twice the value.

Fearfull_Symmetry Thanks for the suggestions! Scouting Trek could be extremely useful in this deck. I could see doing a combo of Animist's Awakening + Scouting Trek and hitting an insane amount of lands depending on the available mana on the board. If Borborygmos Enraged has the Illusionist's Bracers equipped it only takes 7 lands in hand to one shot an opponent! I will definitely try to fit this in.

I'm sure the deck will be a blast when you do acquire all the cards and play it. As it happens, I've been wanting to build a Borborygmos deck myself.
Scouting Trek is highly recommended. It grabs all your basic lands and top decks them for sure access every time you draw so Borborygmos has plenty of fodder. Elfhame Sanctuary is another way of consistently getting lands into your hand, and even though you have to forgo your draw you can still get other cards when needed. I recommend these in part so you can have fewer lands in the deck overall, making space for more utility cards: extra combat phases, buffs and/or protection for the commander, fetches, etc.
