---

This deck aims to get a few cards out early that deal damage to all opponents at the beginning of my turn, to get early big mana with Belbe.

• Mardu Shadowspear

• Thrull Parasite

• Vicious Rumors

• Sanctum of Stone Fangs

• Creeping Bloodsucker

• Dina, Soul Steeper

• Loyal Subordinate

• Spawn of Mayhem

• Leechridden Swamp

• Crypt Ghast

• Triskaidekaphobia

Mid-game, cards like Strionic Resonator or Doubling Cube vastly increase the mana availble, while cards like Sunstone and Dawnstrider prevent my opponents from getting Belbe's mana.

The deck attempts to get Eldrazi titans out as early as possible, or other high mana value cards or X spells, including:

• Animist's Awakening

• Enshrined Memories

• Finale of Devastation

• Finale of Eternity

• Genesis Hydra

• Primal Surge

• Sadistic Sacrament

• Torment of Hailfire

• Worst Fears

In the late game, you might be able to sneak a win with several combos, including:

• Magecraft combos with chain spells (Professor Onyx or Witherbloom Apprentice with Chain of Smog or Chain of Acid.)

• Dina, Soul Steeper or Sanguine Bond with Exquisite Blood.

I've done a bit of research on cards that would go well with Belbe, and I've chosen a direction to go with it, but I haven't built the actual deck yet. I'm open to receiving feedback about card choices, because it will save me money when I don't buy something I won't end up using.

I'm thinking about replacing clunky Astral Cornucopia and Everflowing Chalice with boring Sol Ring and Arcane Signet. I originally chose those mana rocks because they can soak up a lot of Belbe's mana, but I actually prefer mana rocks to be cheap, and I can use that mana for something more important. Another thing is that there are a few 1 mana black cards that can come out on turn 1 and damage all opponents on turn 2 when I get Belbe out. This means potentially very big early plays on turn 2 or 3. I've chosen not to go this route, because instead of 6 or 8 mana cards I'm casting 10-12 mana spells. I want cards that can survive a bit better, like Sanctum of Stone Fangs.
