Prompt (Optional)

This version of your Teshar, Ancestor’s Apostle deck is very strong and tightly tuned for a combo-control strategy focused on artifact recursion and storm-like lines. Here's a breakdown of how it's shaping up and some thoughts on improvements:

---

✅ What’s Working Well

🔁 Combo Engine Core is Intact

You’ve included all the pillars:

Free artifacts (e.g., Ornithopter, Phyrexian Walker, Mishra’s Bauble)

Recursion (Scrap Trawler, Myr Retriever, Junk Diver, Salvager of Ruin)

Sacrifice outlets (Ashnod's Altar, Krark-Clan Ironworks, Altar of Dementia, Blasting Station)

Payoffs (Aetherflux Reservoir, Altar of the Brood, Desecrated Tomb, Genesis Chamber)

Mass recursion (Second Sunrise, Faith’s Reward)

🧠 Value Engine

Mystic Forge + Sensei’s Divining Top gives near-infinite value and potential storm.

Luminous Broodmoth + Enduring Renewal lines are deadly.

Karn, the Great Creator opens toolbox potential and locks.

Esper Sentinel, Myrel, and white interaction (Silence, Surge, Swords, Path) protect your gameplan.

🔧 Utility Land Suite

Emeria, Urza lands, Saga, Inventors' Fair, Blast Zone = strong utility.

War Room, Minas Tirith give card draw.

High Market, Homeward Path, and recursion lands round it out well.

🛠️ Suggested Improvements

💥 Include Mox Pearl

If you have access to Mox Pearl, absolutely include it. It’s one of the most power-efficient plays in a deck that loves zero- to one-mana artifacts and benefits from mana burst early.

Cut suggestion: Replace Temple of the False *** – it’s awkward in opening hands and inconsistent early.

⚠️ Questionable Inclusions

1. Kentaro, the Smiling Cat – seems out of place (no samurai or legend focus).

2. Selfless Samurai – good protection, but maybe Selfless Spirit or Benevolent Bodyguard is more efficient.

3. Cryptic Trilobite – interesting with mana, but not a core piece. Could be a flex slot.

📤 Potential Cuts (Low Impact)

Delif's Cone, Candy Trail, Golden Egg – okay but weak if you’re not playing a storm turn. Consider reducing redundancy unless they're key to smoothing mana for Mystic Forge lines.

Tocasia’s Dig Site – meh effect overall. Could be replaced by another fetchable or utility land like Scavenger Grounds if grave hate is a concern.

🔁 Optional Adds

If you want more resilience or closing power:

Walking Ballista (as a wincon with infinite mana)

Mox Amber (if enough legends present—like Teshar, Myrel, Elena)

Thran Vigil or Audacity (if you're leaning harder into Teshar chains)

Thassa’s Oracle (if you want a deterministic outlet to self-mill + loop)

---

🧠 Overall Assessment

This list is:

95% competitive and combo-tight

Focused on low CMC, efficient recursion, and redundant combo pieces

Very streamlined for storm/combo turns with enough protection and utility to survive the setup

✅ You’re really close to peak performance. Just a few tweaks like Mox Pearl in, Kentaro/Samurai out, and possibly 1–2 lands adjusted, and this is a polished, resilient Teshar cEDH-tier shell.
