{"ops":[{"insert":"Cut "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Diabolic Tutor"}},{"insert":" . Is anything in your deck worth an extra 4 mana to cast? You're probably better off replacing this with a draw spell. I recommend "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Shamanic Revelation"}},{"insert":" .\n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"God-Pharaoh's Statue"}},{"insert":" is questionable. 6 mana is a lot to pay for a tax ability. Basically, your opponents have to cast three spells before you get an even exchange for casting it. The second ability doesn't trigger Belbe. \n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Deathrite Shaman"}},{"insert":" is a little pricey, but it's really dynamic and the second ability triggers Belbe.\n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Mardu Shadowspear"}},{"insert":" would be a good one if you're looking for budget options to ping all your opponents. The dash ability makes it repeatable and immune to board wipes. Probably better than "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Cauldron Familiar"}},{"insert":" since you're not running any of the combo pieces that got that card banned in other formats. \n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Zof Consumption // Zof Bloodbog"}},{"insert":" is an MDFC that synergizes with your commander.\n\nAs a general recommendation, do an advanced search for more cards that cause all of your opponents lose life, and more cards that you can ramp into with Belbe. X spells, kicker spells and permanents with mana sink activated abilities are all good payoffs for Belbe's ability.\n\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Sweet thanks a bunch! Very great advice!\n\nI honestly can cut Diabolic Tutor and not look back. I agree with what you have to say in retrospect and I'll probably replace it with Damnable Pact but I'll consider Shamanic Revelation as well.\n\nI'll put Statue on the chopping block for literally any other card I can think of, I originally intended for it to be more of an early drop card but honestly I'm fine with cutting it for another cheap, repeatable pinger.\n\nWill cut Familiar for Shaman, that's also a good call. The versatility is amazing and it's not too terribly expensive. :)\n"}]}
