[[Belbe Corrupted Observer]] is by far my favorite deck when it works. The idea is to play a pinger turn 1 (ex. [[Pulse Tracker]]), turn 2 play Belbe, trigger her with the pinger, and play a big colorless payoff, or multiple colorless stax pieces, and use that spike of value to snowball the game.

I've been having two major problems with this build of the deck:

1. Sometimes my opening hand just doesn't work. I need 2 lands, a pinger, and a payoff, and sometimes I just don't draw that, and the deck doesn't really have a backup plan. I have 12 1-2 drop pingers and 37 lands, so in theory it should happen most of the time, it's just a bit inconsistent.

2. Removal or a counterspell turn 1 or 2 really screws me. As with above, I don't have a good backup plan if I don't get that first belbe trigger, so someone killing my pinger/belbe before I get value feels like I might as well just concede right there.
