This deck surrounds with Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle as your main combo piece. Elsha of the Infinite is going to be out there to dig for answers until you find your combo pieces. I try to make it a budget version (if I'll cut down Sensei's Divining Top and to have only 1 nonland tutor Trophy Mage to tone down the deck. But I think Sensei is a MUST run for this deck as it involves around the top of the deck.

Early Game

Push to get at least 5 land drops as you build your mana base. It will help you to provide the colors that you need. As soon as you hit your mana for your commander, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT cast her without having at least 5 and/or above mana and a counterspell. As your opponents know that when she's out, you'll be building your machines.

Why Raff Capashen, Ship's Mage?

The main purpose of this simple legendary guy out here is to help with Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle + Sac outlet + Workshop Assistant + 0-1 mana artifact. Since these graveyard recursions needs to cast a historic spell at a faster speed, therefore, Raff will speed things up. Also, you can sneak in your commander during the end turn of your opponent. But once you cast Raff, you must prepare to burst out your machines as they might take it down.

Let's talk about Combo

(1) Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle + Ravenous Intruder + Cathodion + 0-2 mana artifacts = INFINITE COLORLESS MANA

(2) Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle + Salvager of Ruin + Diligent Excavator + Tormod's Crypt = INFINITE MILL

(3) Sensei's Divining Top + Elsha of the Infinite + any mana reducer = INFINITE DRAW

These combos can be abused by using Gate to the Afterlife or Jeskai Ascendancy to loot for needed cards.

Wonderfull Synergies

(1) Jeskai Ascendancy + Efficient Construction + Clock of Omens Provided that you have at least 2-3 mana rocks, a mana reducer, and a top filtering artifact, this synergy may explode your board immediately.

(2) Storm the Vault   + tons of artifacts As much as possible, protect this enchantment as this is a valuable piece to play. It provides you a ton of mana for you to cast a lot from your top deck. Keep in mind that it only produces so have spare mana rocks that provide other colors.

Playstyle

(1) Do not cast your commander without any solid plan in your hand. Don't trust the top deck too much as you might not get what you want, especially with getting so much land on top.

(2) Be sneaky and hideous at all times. Don't populate your board enough in a turn as they will end up seeing you as a threat. Always burst and win in one turn. If you can't, just filter your hands to provide you some supporting cards.

(3) Politics. Use it as your advantage before you combo/burst off. Mandate of Peace is one of your very best friend as it shuts down your opponents and grab that window of opportunity to combo/burst off. "You want a fog? Don't cast anything!"

(4) Board wipe and graveyard hates are your worst enemies, especially artifacts wipe. Just be sneaky and you'll be fine.

(5) Play smart. To impulsive to win is a bad habit.
