how do you beat belcher.. chalice is good and all but if that is your only disruption and even that is subpar against it... also by the time you get a jitte out and get 2 counters on it you have already lost against most combo decks..
another note is with the release of shattering spree how do you stand up to that... you get a chalice for one and the just ignore it and comence to go off.. it seems like an ok idea if your playing in a slower format, but what i have seen from type 1 it just seems to slow and has little disruption

Belcher is not as bad as one would think.
It's even, and who plays first is often determinative.
If I get a Chalice 1, they lose. If I throw them off with a Gorilla, they're
likewise in trouble. If they're tight on mana and my Welder is in play,
then they've lost. 4 Pithing Needles in the sideboard swing it in
my favor post-sb.

Something tells me that JDizzle disagrees with everything you just said. Hell, I played Belcher in 1 tournament and I disagree that Chalice @1=gg or Needle=GG.
yea ive been playing it for sometime now and chalice for 1 doesnt bother me as much as you think it would... i will cladly combo out with cabal rituals instead...also with the arifact hate that i bring in post board make needle just another stall card. Sure its nice until i get oxidize or naturalize or deconstruct.. and then i win.
