Either that or he means Chancellor of the Tangle.  That guy has serious synergy with Chrome Mox.

I meant Chancellor of Tangle like Mad Man Mike said.

This is more of a Hermit list than a Belcher list and Summoner's Pact does not work with Hermit since instant speed wins require a ton of mana.

I played 20 games yesterday and only went 10-10.  This is bad because I was on the play every game and every game was preboard.  I was playing the opposing decks as though they knew what they were up against so they were mulliganing into Force fairly aggressively.

12 times I had turn 1 Druid (only won 8 of those)
Once I had turn 1 Therapy into Warrens for 10 followed by saccing a token for another Therapy.
That was a win.
Twice I had Warrens for 8.  I won one of those, with a topdecked Hermit Ironically enough.
Twice I had Warrens for 6.  Both losses.
Three times I mulliganed to crap and promptly lost.

I never once even played a Belcher the whole time, but I went Warrens 5 times.  I think I lacked the Belcher in all of those cases and usually (but not always) I would have preferred the Belcher.

Belcher does mix extra mana, but I am not sure what to do about that.  The issue is permanent mana more than turn 1 mana.  Basically you get the 4 mana easily enough, but then having 3 on turn 2 is tricky.  Tinder Wall is one potential option.  Extra lands mess up Belches. 
LED may actually make the most sense.
Opal does not fix this, because if I already have 2 Mox in play then I probably have the 3 mana anyway.
Opal gives me mana when I don't need and gives me nothing when I need Mana.

Then you need Channel.  GG should be fairly easy to get with 8 ESG effects and Land Grant.

I'm still working on a similar build but with no draw and Serum Powders.

Btw, is there any win involving Hermit Druid that can go off at instant speed?

@instant speed hermit win:  not a practical one yet...hermit enthusiasts are waiting patiently for this r&d error so that summoner's pact and pact of negation can come back into busted combo
