Thanks for the lists! Your tourneys have a fun looking meta.
Do you guys allow proxies yet?
Yep, you can find details here:

I cut the Street Wraith, and didn't regret them. The thinning effect is much too thin (!) to worth the slots. I put 2 ESG and 2 Shaterring Spree Main deck, and was VERY happy with them.
The 5 REB were very strong agains blue deck, and gave me 2 matchs (against Flash and the Tarmo control deck). My big deception were WoF and Jar. Really. WoF cost me the last game. It can be broken, but it can be bad too, and it was bad all day long. I remember Klept saying he would never play with Draw7 again, and I guess I agree with him today. Although he tried a black version with Grim Tutor (which I hated), I think the power of the deck is to know if you can win or not with the cards you got in hand. WoF and Jar just make you take the risk of keeping a questionnable hand. Of course, Belcher is a combo deck and you always have to play being aware you can fizzle anytime, but you should be able to take THE right decision with cards you actually have in hand. That's the reason why I cut the Street Wraith.
Anyway, I am actually thinking of cutting Jar and WoF. While cutting Jar, Welders may be cut too. what about:
-4 Welders
-1 Wof
-1 Jar
+ 2 ESG
+ 3 Tinder Wall
+ 1 Channel
The problem is I cut 4 disruptions (Welders) for mana. Maybe 3 Living Wish? For Welder, Entity Storm, Tarmo? I don't know if it worths the cut... I guess mulliganing until having the perfect hand is the best way to play the deck, instead of having too much solutions.
