1) If thou playest a spell into Chalice, Thouest Scrubbed! No Take Backs, not even in casual playtesting (this includes opponents)
I've played cards(like manavault) into chalice just so they can go to the graveyard and be welded into play.
Anyway...... I've really enjoyed reading through these posts. I think the innovation that is going on in belcher is outstanding. I can't believe some of the cards that have come out since I stopped playing. One of the biggest obstacles of the original belcher builds was gererating enough 0 cc mana sources to have a viable deck. To see a deck list for 0 land belcher brings a tear to my eye (a happy tear). Keep up the good work! I'm sure I'll be lurking around the forums in the future to see what new variations everyone has come up with.

Also (kinda way off topic), while I've been away from the game, I've been working at a research and developement company. One of our projects was featured on discovery channel. It is a bit like a "real life" charbelcher.
