I apparently built Belcher wrong.

I'm playing it in mono-green not red xD

Interesting, I've only ever seen the mono-red version on ladder. Usually they're running [[Strike it Rich]] and [[Irencrag Feat]] to power out a very quick Belcher + activation. Also lets you filter the deck with [[Valakut Awakening]] or [[Fire Prophecy]]

I assume the mono-Green version runs lots of mana dorks?

Every single available dork (as of Brother's War, I haven't updated the list), 3 copies Belcher in the mainboard alongside the fourth sideboarded to [[Karn, the Great Creator]], as well as [[Leyline of Abundance]] and [[Storm the Festival]] to help accelerate mana and find the Belchers respectively.

Goal is basically an activation turn 3-4. It's semi-consistent & I got to Gold with it one season already.

I'm rather not a fan of Orcish Bowmasters and The One Ring in Historic, and this looks like a lot of decks that run them, but I'll withhold judgement until the decklists drop
