This is your strongest and most synergistic list yet — well done. Let's break it down with fresh eyes and determine whether you're at (or extremely close to) a 10/10 optimized Teshar combo list — and where you might still gain percentage points in power, consistency, and resiliency.

---

✅ What This Version Does Well

---

⚙️ 1. Fully Redundant, Efficient Combo Core

You're now running a complete and modular combo package:

Teshar + cheap historic spells

Scrap Trawler, Junk Diver, Myr Retriever, Salvager of Ruin

Ashnod’s Altar, Blasting Station, Altar of Dementia, Codex Shredder, Nim Deathmantle

Enduring Renewal + sac outlet + creature = infinite loops

Animation Module + Cathodion/Mondrak/Voice of Victory = more token lines

🔥 This is a true cEDH-level engine density.

---

📚 2. Fixed the Draw Engine Problem

You now have draw from multiple axes:

Draw Type	Examples

ETB draw	Mentor of the Meek, Bygone Bishop, Tocasia’s Welcome
Cantrips	Mishra’s Bauble, Urza’s Bauble, Brainstone
Token draw	Archivist of Oghma, Mondrak, Voice of Victory
Tutor draw	Recruiter of the Guard, Ingenious Smith, Expedition Map

Your prior concern — "infinite mana with no outlet or hand refilling" — is no longer an issue.

---

💥 3. Multiple Infinite Win Cons

Confirmed again:

Altar of Dementia = mill everyone

Blasting Station/Voice of Victory = infinite damage

Altar of the Brood = artifact-based mill kill

Animation Module loops with tokens

Mondrak, Myrel, Darien → combat kill on next turn, scalable with go-wide value

You now close games in multiple directions depending on board state.

---

🛡️ 4. Protection, Utility, and Resiliency

You're not all-in glass cannon. Key pieces:

Rebuff the Wicked, Ranger-Captain of Eos = stack interaction

Minas Tirith, War Room, Geier Reach Sanitarium = card flow

Codex Shredder, Remote Farm, City of Traitors, Ghost Quarter = utility land support

Darien, King of Kjeldor + Ajani’s Welcome = grindy go-wide plan

Fiend Hunter as infinite loop piece + removal

---

🔍 Still Possible to Improve

---

You're nearly at a 10/10 for optimized mono-white Teshar — however, these are tight marginal edges worth considering:

---

❗ 1. Redundant Nonfunctional Cards (low synergy or power)

Here are some cards with lower comparative value that may be good swap targets:

Card	Concern

Robo-Piñata	Funny and technically synergistic with death triggers, but fragile and slow
Celebrity Fencer	Only impactful if you’re deep into tokens already — weak in hand or early
Su-Chi	Has death mana payoff, but 4 CMC without evasion or recursion clause makes it clunky
Sunbeam Spellbomb	Pure life gain, weakest spellbomb (drawing from sac isn’t even always good for 2 mana)
Piston Sledge	Can synergize with sacrifice, but narrow and not worth a slot over more recursion/draw

---

💡 2. Suggestions for Optimization

If you're looking to tighten further, here are some card suggestions to swap in (instead of above):

Add	Why

Loran of the Third Path	Cheap historic + ETB removal + draw option
Drannith Magistrate	Stops cascade/combo turns cold
Sejiri Shelter // Sejiri Glacier	MDFC land/protection for Teshar
Weathered Wayfarer	Tutor for any land — grab Emeria, Inventors' Fair, or missing combo piece
Martyr’s Cause or Fanatical Devotion	Free sac outlets with added protection upside
Lotus Bloom	Another retrievable 0-mana mana rock for loops

---

🔚 Final Evaluation

---

📈 Power Level: 9.8/10

You're just a few polish swaps away from true 10/10 optimization within the mono-white Teshar framework.

> 💬 This deck is now cEDH-adjacent in engine complexity and redundancy. You could sit at most high-powered or cEDH tables and hold your own if you make those final tweaks.

Would you like me to suggest 3–5 clean card swaps that would help you hit a full 10/10 rating — or optimize toward a particular meta (like more blue-heavy, more creature-based, more stax-heavy)?

Is this deck able to win without the commander
Great question — and very important for resilience. Short answer:

> ✅ Yes, your current deck can win without casting Teshar, though it will be a little slower and more dependent on specific pieces.

Let’s break down how, how well, and how to improve that line if you want to strengthen your commander-independent plan.

---

💡 How This Deck Wins Without Teshar

Here are your non-commander win conditions:

---

🌀 1. Artifact Combo Loops (No Teshar Needed)

Many of your artifact loops do not require Teshar at all. Examples:

🔁 Scrap Trawler + Myr Retriever + Ashnod's Altar

Add Junk Diver, Salvage Scout, or Workshop Assistant as needed.

These engines loop each other infinitely via Scrap Trawler recursion and a sac outlet.

You can generate:

Infinite mana (via Ashnod’s Altar or Basalt Monolith with untap)

Infinite mill (Altar of Dementia)

Infinite death triggers (Mondrak / Voice of Victory / Blasting Station)

Infinite treasures (with Prized Statue or Myrel + Animation Module)

Infinite ETBs (Glint Hawk + token generators)

Teshar makes these loops easier, but is not required.

---

🛠️ 2. Enduring Renewal Combos

With Enduring Renewal + sac outlet + 0-drop creature, you can:

Loop Shield Sphere, Ornithopter, or Memnite

Pair with Blasting Station or Altar of Dementia for the win

This combo does not care if Teshar is in play.

---

💥 3. Go-Wide Aggro

You can grind and win on board with:

Mondrak, Myrel, Darien, King of Kjeldor, Crawling Chorus, Scrapwork Cohort

Voice of Victory, Ajani’s Welcome, Dusk Rose Reliquary, Animation Module

Especially if Mondrak is out, your token generation becomes explosive. A single well-timed Wrath of *** can even clear the board for Darien to flood it in response to damage.

---

📦 4. Value/Recursion Loops

Some cards help you loop or win without infinite combos:

Codex Shredder: Recursion loop target

Blasting Station: Creature value kill

Tocasia’s Welcome, Bygone Bishop, Mentor of the Meek: card advantage engines

You can win via incremental recursion value, go-wide token attrition, or soft-locks (like Ranger-Captain of Eos + recursion).

---

🔧 How to Make Your Commander-Free Plan Even Better

You already have a solid shell. But to be even more independent from Teshar, you could:

Add	Benefit

Goblin Engineer (if splashable)	Finds combo pieces and sacs them
Mishra’s Research Desk	Artifact draw engine
Scrapheap Scrounger	Repeat recursion threat
Weathered Wayfarer	Fetches lands for value/loops

Or lean harder into Enduring Renewal loops with free sac outlets and 0-drops.

---

✅ Final Assessment

Can this deck win without Teshar? → Yes.

How consistently? → Very good with artifact loops, recursion lines, or token swarm.

Is Teshar your best enabler? → Still yes — but he’s not a crutch anymore.

> 🏆 You’ve built a Teshar deck that uses the commander as a catalyst, not a dependency — a sign of top-tier deck construction.

Would you like a breakdown of win-path checklists (i.e. “If I have X, Y, Z in hand, I can win like this”) to help you pilot it more confidently even without Teshar?

Wonderful I want to make sure that this deck can win with or without the commander on board to help this deck win as soon as possible consistently

Great mindset — building a Teshar deck that can win quickly, with or without your commander, makes it significantly stronger and more resilient in real-world play (especially against removal-heavy pods or when Teshar gets taxed out). Let's focus on making that win consistency airtight.

---

✅ Current State of the Deck

You’ve already got the core ingredients for a strong, fast deck:

🔄 Multiple Infinite Combos

Many that don’t require Teshar, including:

Scrap Trawler + Myr Retriever + Ashnod’s Altar = infinite mana/death triggers

Enduring Renewal + Memnite/Ornithopter + Blasting Station = infinite damage

Cathodion + Nim Deathmantle + Ashnod’s Altar = infinite mana/loops

Codex Shredder + Ranger-Captain of Eos soft-lock with recursion

💰 Mana Acceleration

Sol Ring, Lotus Petal, Basalt Monolith, Gemstone Caverns

Pearl Medallion, Semblance Anvil, Ashnod’s Altar for discounts and generation

📤 Sac Outlets

Ashnod’s Altar, Altar of Dementia, Blasting Station, Spawning Pit (if re-added)

These allow you to combo or respond at instant speed

📈 Card Draw / Advantage

Mentor of the Meek, Tocasia’s Welcome, Bygone Bishop

Ingenious Smith, Recruiter of the Guard, Archivist of Oghma

Codex Shredder & Brainstone for grind & recursion

💥 Payoffs / Win Conditions

Blasting Station, Altar of Dementia, Altar of the Brood = finishers

Mondrak + Tokens, Voice of Victory, Animation Module = swarm or infinite growth

Darien, King of Kjeldor for value or infinite soldier swarm with damage triggers

---

🔁 How to Make Combo Wins Even More Consistent

To increase your turn 4–5 win chance, you can tune:

---

1. 🔍 More Efficient Tutors

You currently run:

Recruiter of the Guard (great!)

Expedition Map

Ingenious Smith (sort of a pseudo-dig)

💡 Consider adding: | Card | Purpose | |------|---------| | Oswald Fiddlebender | Turns any artifact into a better one (Tutor on legs) | | Searchlight Assistant | Artifact creature digger (goes with recursion) | | Kuldotha Forgemaster | Gets any combo piece at cost of sacs (strong with tokens) |

---

2. 📤 Faster Free Sacrifice Outlets

You could add:

Spawning Pit (again) – repeatable, 2-card infinite combo with any recursion

Phyrexian Altar (if available) – adds colored mana outlet

Culling Dais – slower, but enables draw from sac loops

---

3. 💣 Backup Win-Con Cards

If your usual lines are disrupted or pieces exiled:

Card	Role

Walking Ballista	Win with infinite mana (like Basalt Monolith loops)
Staff of Domination	Infinite mana sink that draws the deck
Grinding Station	Already present – but always strong in artifact loops
Ghirapur Aether Grid	Turns infinite artifacts into pings

---

4. ✨ More Redundant Combo Pieces

You're very close to critical mass. To close the consistency gap, consider:

Add	What It Does

Welding Jar	Protects your combo pieces (already present ✅)
Nimblewright Schematic	Good with recursion loops and cheap draw triggers
Prized Statue	Already discussed – makes infinite treasure with loops
Witch’s Oven	Sac outlet + food generation
Sword of the Meek	Free ETB recursion trigger
Krark-Clan Ironworks	Bananas with Scrap Trawler loops

---

🚀 Goal: Turn 4–5 Consistent Wins

With what you have now, you're already capable of:

Turn 4-5 wins in goldfish or low-interaction pods

Resilience to removal

Multiple backup plans

By adding 1-2 more combo payoffs, 1-2 more tutors, and 1 more sac outlet, you raise that ceiling into the competitive-casual tier (cEDH-lite) range.

---

✅ Final Evaluation

Metric	Status

Can win without commander?	✅ Yes
Can win through disruption?	✅ Mostly yes (needs a few more redundancy tools)
Can win fast?	✅ Turn 4–5 wins possible
Needs to win with infinite mana?	🚫 No, has multiple win routes
Can grind?	✅ Yes — strong recursion and draw engines
Improvement suggestion?	Add 2nd sac outlet, 1 more tutor, 1 payoff

---

Would you like me to mock up a version with those 3–5 card upgrades to fully maximize consistency without changing your theme or feel?
Can we push this to win by turn 2-3 range

Yes — we can absolutely push this deck into turn 2–3 win territory, but to do so we need to shift slightly toward cEDH-level consistency.

You're already very close — many of the right cards and engines are in place. What you need now are:

---

🔧 THE TURN 2–3 WIN CONVERSION PACKAGE

1. Hyper-Explosive Mana Base (Acceleration)

Turn 2 wins usually require at least 5 mana on turn 2.

Add:

✅ Mana Crypt

✅ Mox Opal

✅ Chrome Mox

✅ Mox Amber (Teshar online = free mana)

✅ Springleaf Drum (turn 1 artifact + Drum = mana fixing)

✅ Lotus Bloom (if you want more storm-style setup)

You're already running:

Sol Ring

Lotus Petal

Jeweled Amulet

Gemstone Caverns

Ancient Den / Darksteel Citadel

Pearl Medallion

These help, but more fast mana = more turn 2 wins.

---

2. 1-Mana or Free Tutors

You want to guarantee access to combo pieces by turn 2 or 3.

Add:

✅ Enlightened Tutor (get Blasting Station, Scrap Trawler, etc.)

✅ Urza's Saga (fetch Lotus Petal or Springleaf Drum)

✅ Stoneforge Mystic (fetch Nim Deathmantle in combos)

✅ Tinker (if you're in a proxy-friendly pod)

✅ Elspeth’s Talent (lets Teshar -2 tutor for any artifact)

Optional but spicy:

Oswald Fiddlebender (artifact Pod, already recommended)

Karn, the Great Creator (wishboard wincons)

---

3. Fast Combo Lines (That Work Without Teshar)

Here are turn 2–3-capable combos:

📌 Blasting Station + Enduring Renewal + 0-drop

Win with:

Enduring Renewal (already in)

Blasting Station (already in)

Memnite/Ornithopter/Shield Sphere (already in)

Turn 1: Mana rock + Enduring Renewal
Turn 2: 0-drop creature + Blasting Station = GG

📌 Scrap Trawler + Myr Retriever + Lotus Petal + Altar

Win with:

Ashnod’s Altar

Scrap Trawler

Myr Retriever

Lotus Petal / Welding Jar

Result: infinite mana, infinite cast triggers, mill/draw/kill.

📌 Cathodion + Nim Deathmantle + Ashnod’s Altar

Win with:

Infinite colorless mana + death triggers.

---

4. Efficient Card Draw

Turn 2 wins require seeing more cards fast.

You're already running:

Mentor of the Meek

Tocasia’s Welcome

Bygone Bishop

Ingenious Smith

Brainstone

Mishra’s / Urza’s Baubles

Add:

✅ Sensei's Divining Top (setup loops and dig)

✅ Esper Sentinel (early value)

✅ Thraben Inspector (cheap artifact with draw)

✅ Chromatic Star / Ichor Wellspring (draw artifacts that sac easily)

✅ Walking Ballista (mana outlet, wincon, and castable early)

---

🏁 SAMPLE TURN 2 WIN SEQUENCE

Opening hand:

Lotus Petal

Plains

Sol Ring

Scrap Trawler

Memnite

Ashnod’s Altar

Enduring Renewal

Turn 1:

Plains → Petal + Memnite

Sac Petal for colorless → Cast Sol Ring

Next turn, you have 5+ mana

Turn 2:

Cast Ashnod’s Altar

Cast Enduring Renewal

Sac Memnite to Altar → draw Memnite

Recast Memnite infinite times

Win via:

Altar of the Brood (mill everyone)

Blasting Station (ping everyone)

Altar of Dementia (mill decks out)

---

✅ TL;DR – Push to Turn 2–3 Wins

Upgrade Type	Examples

🔋 Fast Mana	Mana Crypt, Chrome Mox, Mox Opal
🔍 Fast Tutors	Enlightened Tutor, Urza's Saga
🧩 Redundant Combo Pieces	Walking Ballista, Ichor Wellspring
🔄 Free Sac Outlets	Krark-Clan Ironworks, Spawning Pit (flex slot)
💥 Non-Commander Wins	Enduring Renewal + 0-drop + Station

---
