// Commander
1 Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle
You're very close to having an optimized, cEDH-capable Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle deck with strong consistency, fast combo potential, and even some spicy alt-win paths. Let’s analyze your latest list and give some final tuning tips, so you can be confident this is tournament-grade while still pulling off fun and unexpected wins.

---

✅ What You’re Doing Right

This version looks extremely close to ideal for a cEDH Teshar deck:

💥 Combo Core — Strong

You're running all the right loops:

Teshar + LED + Salvagers (infinite mana)

Teshar + Enduring Renewal + free creature + Altar of Dementia (infinite recursion + mill)

Scrap Trawler + Krark-Clan Ironworks + Retriever/Diver loops

Mystic Forge + Sensei’s Top + cost reducers for storm draws

Aetherflux Reservoir as a clean storm win

🔄 Redundant Recursion & Payoffs

Myr Turbine, Workshop Assistant, Dross Scorpion, Su-Chi, Vesperlark, and Yomiji all add depth to your loops — and some allow for grindier lines.

Fanatical Devotion is a cool tech for repeatable recursion and works with tokens or Hallowed Spiritkeeper.

🔧 Utility & Interaction

Hope of Ghirapur, Ranger-Captain of Eos, Silence, Orim’s Chant, Grand Abolisher, Containment Priest all support safe combo turns or disrupt opponents.

Enlightened Tutor, Recruiter of the Guard, Weathered Wayfarer, Mystic Forge, War Room give you decent draw/filtering/tutoring in white.

---

🧹 Final Tuning Suggestions

❌ Potential Cuts

These cards are more fun than functional, or don’t contribute optimally in a cEDH shell:

Card	Cut Reason

Yomiji, Who Bars the Way	7 mana, low impact. You already have better recursion.
Fanatical Devotion	Niche usage; recursion density already high.
Shadowspear	Nice, but lifelink/trample isn’t relevant to your win conditions.
Su-Chi	Has synergy with Altar of Dementia loops, but overall it’s clunky and better options exist.
Myr Turbine	Fun and synergistic, but very slow for cEDH — more of a casual/alt-win piece.
Tormod's Crypt	Great graveyard hate, but you might want interaction that’s usable proactively or synergistic (e.g. Soul-Guide Lantern or Relic of Progenitus).

---

✅ Possible Upgrades

If you're trying to maximize cEDH consistency, here are the best upgrades:

Add	Why

Wheel of Misfortune (if budget allows)	Massive draw, pairs great with LED and recursion.
Lotus Field or Phyrexian Tower	Another sac outlet / fast mana land.
Containment Construct	Broken with discard outlets like LED, also combos with Teshar.
Thalia, Guardian of Thraben / Ethersworn Canonist	If you want to lean into stax as a backup plan.
Mana Crypt	Obvious cEDH staple; probably the best missing card.
Loran of the Third Path	Artifact/enchantment hate on a Teshar-recursable body.

---

🧠 Win Condition Cheat Sheet

You’ll want to be able to quickly recognize these lines in play:

🔁 Loop 1: Teshar + LED + Auriok Salvagers

Infinite white mana.

Recur baubles to draw deck or Walking Ballista for win.

Or Altar of Dementia for mill win.

🔁 Loop 2: Teshar + Enduring Renewal + Free Creature + Sac Outlet

Use Memnite/Phyrexian Walker, and sac to Altar of Dementia/Ashnod’s Altar.

Infinite recursion, infinite mana or mill everyone.

🔁 Loop 3: Mystic Forge + Top + Cost Reduction

Cast Top repeatedly for free, draw your deck.

Add Aetherflux Reservoir or Ballista to kill.

---

🧾 Final Verdict

This deck is now cEDH viable with:

Consistent T3–T4 wins

Redundant, clean infinite combos

Solid hate and protection

Room for spicy and unexpected lines

You’re in a strong place to start winning events and have fun doing it.

Can this deck push into turn 2-3 win consistently

Yes — your current Teshar deck absolutely has the core to support consistent turn 2–3 wins, but to truly reach that level of cEDH consistency (i.e. >60% win or threaten by turn 3 in 4-player pods), you need to tighten your deck a little further, leaning harder into tutors, fast mana, and draw smoothing.

---

✅ What You Already Have Going For Turn 2–3 Wins:

You’ve already built the skeleton of a powerful turn-2/3 deck:

🔋 Fast Mana (Great Start)

Chrome Mox, Mox Opal, Sol Ring, Lotus Petal, Lion’s Eye Diamond, Lotus Bloom, Ancient Tomb, City of Traitors, Crystal Vein

🔁 Cheap, Redundant Combo Loops

Teshar + LED + Salvagers

Teshar + Enduring Renewal + free creatures + Altar of Dementia

Teshar + Mystic Forge + Top + Cost Reducer

🔍 Some Tutors / Filtering

Enlightened Tutor

Recruiter of the Guard

Weathered Wayfarer

Mystic Forge

Sensei's Divining Top

🔒 Combo Protection

Silence, Orim’s Chant, Ranger-Captain, Grand Abolisher

---

🚧 Bottlenecks to Consistency

To truly push into turn 2–3 win range consistently, you need to address these weak spots:

1. Draw Power is Light

You need more explosive draw engines to dig for combo pieces early.

Solutions: Mentor of the Meek, Loran of the Third Path, Bygone Bishop, Esper Sentinel (you have some already), Wedding Ring (risky but powerful in white)

2. Too Many “Cute” or Slow Cards

Cards like Fanatical Devotion, Su-Chi, Yomiji, Robo-Piñata, Myr Turbine are fun but dilute your opening hands and don't help your first 3 turns.

3. Low Tutor Density

cEDH decks often run 6–10 tutors. You currently have ~2.

Add these:

Recruiter of the Guard (✓ you have it)

Enlightened Tutor (✓)

✅ Search for Glory, White Sun's Twilight, Cursed Mirror (if budget/flexible)

Consider Artifact tutors like Enlightened Tutor, Steelshaper's Gift, Inventors’ Fair (✓)

4. No Stax Breakers / Counterplay

You’re slightly soft to early interaction like:

Drannith Magistrate

Opposition Agent

Collector Ouphe

You should consider:

March of Otherworldly Light

Emergence Zone (✓ you have it)

Portable Hole or Council’s Judgment (meta call)

---

🧠 Key Optimization Goals for Turn 2–3 Wins

Target	Goal

Mana Production	Consistently hit 4–5 mana by turn 2 with fast rocks + lands
Card Draw	Get at least 1 card advantage engine early (Top + Forge, Skullclamp, Esper Sentinel)
Tutor Density	6+ cards that get combo pieces or enablers
Combo Speed	Reduce reliance on multi-piece combos that don’t win without a sac outlet or draw loop
Redundancy	Backups for each key combo piece: recursion, free creatures, sac outlets, engines

---

🏁 Sample “Turbo Teshar” Turn 2–3 Win Hand

> T1: Plains, Lotus Petal, Chrome Mox (exile Silence), Cast Foundry Inspector
T2: Land, Sol Ring, LED, Myr Retriever, Cast Teshar
→ Crack LED for W, Cast 0-mana creature → loop Retriever + Teshar → mill deck with Altar of Dementia → win

This kind of hand is realistic when your deck is ~30% fast mana, 20% combo pieces, and ~10% tutors/draw. You're close.

---

✅ Summary: Is Consistent Turn 2–3 Possible?

Yes, absolutely — with refinement.
Your current list is 80–85% of the way there.

🔧 Next Steps:

Trim slower, nonessential cards

Add 2–3 more tutors

Add 1–2 more card draw effects

Maximize free creatures, sac outlets, and artifact recursion
