Are these two idiomatically correct?

More X that Y

As X to Y
It does depend on what X and Y are. You could have "more x that y" in a sentence like "We need more dogs that can hunt." The second one requires more words for X and Y to work, I think. "She left you stranded at the store, as she did to me last week."
