Good article. I love playing Belcher, and I've gotten pretty good with it over the past 6 months of some fairly intense testing. I've been messing around with Infernal Tutors a lot in the MB, I like 2 along with a full set of Wishes, but I don't run the second land. I cut back a bit on the EtW by one, with 2 in the MD and 2 in the side. I would like to point out that Desperate Ritual is better than Pyretic for the simple fact of Arcane on a 4-of in a list. It is actually relevant sometimes, and that makes it better in my opinion. The art sucks, but what ya gonna do?

I also occasionally run a Tendrils in the sideboard, along with an IGG or two, and a 3rd IT in the sb as well. Black is certainly worth looking into if the "classic" build is getting a little boring or is too straightforward, not enough bend in it's resilency.
