Why Teshar? Show

Playing a mono-white deck in a mono-blue or multicolour competitive environment is a challenge. You can't counter spells willy-nilly the way the Teferi and Jace decks do, nor can you assemble one specific combo over the space of a turn with consistent tutoring. Redundancy, planning and the occasional politics are how Teshar wins games. You have interaction, but it is less consistent than blue decks that can afford to play little else. You don't play this deck because you want to control the game every step of the way; it's the oddball deck with combos that are very, very hard to stop once you draw into them- exiling cards off the stack is generally the only way, as recursion in this deck is plentiful.

Win Conditions Show

Due to the lack of tutors, there are multiple win conditions to ensure you pull one alongside the rest of a combo. Aside from being able to mill your opponents out via Altar of Dementia or Grinding Station (which generally doesn't work against mono-blue due to the existence of Nexus of Fate), you have the traditional damage outlet of Walking Ballista or Blasting Station, looping Perilous Myr, or using either Relic Vial or Blind Obedience with any free creature loop.

Combos Show

There are so many possible combos that sometimes you will be building towards one and suddenly realise you could have won already. This deck has a LOT of moving pieces that can be substituted for many others, which is the real strength of the deck, so there may be combos that aren't listed because they behave in a similar way to one that is.

Does not require Teshar-

Enduring Renewal + Relic Vial + Walking Ballista (or any free creature + sac outlet)

Enduring Renewal + Semblance Anvil + Walking Ballista (Anvil means Ballista can be cast for X=1)

Enduring Renewal + Semblance Anvil + Perilous Myr + sac outlet- can also replace Anvil with Ashnod's Altar

Enduring Renewal + Blasting Station + Ornithopter (or any cheerio creature)

As you can see, Enduring Renewal is one of the best cards in the deck, as it removes the need to have Teshar in play. However, you can still do any Teshar-based combo as well if you also have Shimmer Myr in play so you can respond before the return-to-hand trigger on Renewal has resolved.

Requires Teshar-

Glint Hawk + Mox Opal + Sol Ring + sac outlet == infinite mana, which can power Walking Ballista, having Blasting Station as the sac outlet or Altar of Dementia to self-mill into a damage outlet. You can also replace one or both of the mana rocks with cheerio creatures if you have Relic Vial in play.

Myr Retriever (or any artifact recursion creature) + Lotus Petal + sac outlet == infinite mana, same conditions as above.

Krark-Clan Ironworks + Myr Retriever + any artifact == infinite mana. You can use Sensei's Divining Top as the additional piece, tap it to draw a card but hold priority and sacrifice it before the ability resolves, thus also enabling you to draw your deck.

Relic Vial + Phyrexian Altar + Restoration Specialist + Ornithopter == win. Sacrifice the Ornithoper to the Phyrexian Altar for white mana, use the white mana to activate Restoration Specialist returning Ornithopter to hand, cast Ornithopter triggering Teshar, reanimating Restoration Specialist.

Thermal Navigator + Cathodion + Workshop Assistant + Foundry Inspector == infinite mana. This combo has the benefit of being entirely creature-based, meaning it can be tutored up with Recruiter of the Guard (aside from Cathodion) or Scrapyard Recombiner - as they are all Constructs, as is Walking Ballista which can then serve as the damage outlet.

Salvager of Ruin + Lotus Petal + Blind Obedience == win. You sacrifice the Petal for mana, sacrifice the Salvager to return the Petal to hand, cast the Petal, using the mana in pool to pay Obedience's extort trigger and returning the Salvager to play via Teshar.
