@Bahamuth: Belcher requires 7 mana which is more than the 11 existing ways we have to win (seven of them cost 4 and four of them cost 6). Replacing Living Wish with Charbelcher is not out of the question, but it also prevents us from playing utility cards like Cavern of Souls. The plan isn't really to ever board completely out of the strategy.
IT is garbage... Living wish is only marginally better. I don't think the reanimator strategy is the way to go, but there's a list to work from if somebody has the interest. Running bayou is probably an unfortunate necessity if you aren't running tallmen/opal.
