7 land Belcher (Modern)

Yet another Belcher list!

The game plan is straight forward: search for our 7 lands, and put them into play.
By turn 4~5, it should be possible to cast [[Goblin Charbelcher]] and activate for 40+ damage.

But how do we get there, oh Master Belcher?
Glad you asked!

Opening hand:
We have 7 lands plus 4 [[Chancellor of the Tangle]]. Math tells us that there are .78 chances of getting at least one of them.
Mulligan for at least one green mana source!

Ideally, our opening hand includes either a [[Goblin Charbelcher]], or [[Recross the Paths]].
It is possible to find them thru the game tho (by turn five chances are .81), but I would hesitate to keep 7 cards without win-cons.

Ramping up:

• We play 16 sorceries that will get us a land for 1 cmc. Remember that the plains should be the 3rd or 4th searched land, otherwise, it will be hard to get since most of the spells only allow for forests ;)
• [[Search for Tomorrow]] is a bit slower, but puts the land untapped. Can also be cast for 3cmc.
• [[Caravan Vigil]] can do the same if we trigger Morbid by sac'ing [[Sakura-Tribe Elder]]!
• [[Nissa's Pilgrimage]] often has spell mastery, so it gets out the last 3 forests.
• Plus the usual green ramp stuff: [[Birds of Paradise]], [[Utopia Sprawl]], and [[Wall of Roots]].

Tutoring:
[[Ancient Stirrings]] can find a land, a Belcher, or another artifact.
[[Recross the Paths]] helps us advance the lands-in-play plan, but has a second more important role: sorts the library when there are no lands.
To win the clash and get the card back, just put Chancellor first and Belcher second.

Post-board and backup:
We have [[Wurmcoil Engine]] in case our opponent is smart enough to deal with Belcher on game one.

Game two, we have a secondary line of action: get a lot of wasps with [[Hornet Queen]] and pump them with Flourish!
That plains was not so random after all, eh? :)
This is an interesting change of strategy and requires a different set of answers --> hitting (stinging) the opponent off-guard.

List of things I am thinking about:

• Burnished Hart
• Font of Fertility
• Horizon Spellbomb
• Journey of Discovery
• Khalni Heart Expedition
• Krosan Tusker
• Mwonvuli Acid-Moss (sideboard, instead of those Choke... they are good but don't help to advance our plan!)
• Nissa's Triumph
• Nissa, Vastwood Seer // Nissa, Sage Animist
• Nissa, Who Shakes the World
• Wild Cantor (Instead of the Birds, since I rarely activate them more than once per game --> and to fuel morbid!)
• depending on how wild on creature count it goes, Karametra, God of Harvests might also be on the list
• Maybe splash red to get access to Madcap Experiment, Simian Spirit Guide, and mainboard Blood Moon
