Borborygmos enraged question

Asked by rooroothepirate 10 years ago

I have a Borborygmos Enraged EDH deck and in it I have Keen Sense as well as Library of Leng. If I throw a land with keen sense on bobo and a library of leng in play, can I discard the land to the top of the library, rinse and repeat? Or does it just go to the graveyard. Just not sure if how it works since I am choosing to discard and not being forced to. Any help is appreciated!

No, this quite doesn't work. Library of Leng only allows you to apply its replacement effect if an effect or spell would make you discard a card. Discarding a land card is the cost of activating Borborygmos Enraged's ability; not a spell or effect itself.

From Library of Leng's Gatherer FAQ:

• You can't use the Library of Leng ability to place a discarded card on top of your library when you discard a card as a cost, because costs aren't effects.

Thanks for the help! I'm actually kind of glad that doesn't work that way. Would be a super cheesy way to win hahaha.
