Let's Crack Some Eggs! - $50 Budget Teshar Deck Tech

Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle | Illustrated by Even Amundsen

Hello, everyone! Welcome to BathroomBrews, the budget deck tech series proving Magic isn't pay-to-win. Each deck will have a budget of $50 excluding the cost of the commander.
Today I'll be showcasing the power of Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle
The Eggs
Let's kick things off with the namesake of the deck, eggs. Eggs are one-mana artifacts that can sacrifice themselves to draw a card. First, we have the new Candy Trail
The Nuts
Next are the nuts of the deck. Unlike eggs, nuts are two-mana artifacts that let us draw cards, and to stick to the food-naming convention, we have Lembas
The Cheerios
I promise this is the last food reference. Cheerios are any zero-mana artifacts. They don't need to have any special effects aside from being free to cast. While I wish we could afford to add cards like Mox Opal
The Creatures
Any good EDH deck will have a multitude of ways to draw cards, and in mono-white, that happens to be cheap creatures. This is perfect with Teshar since they easily recur some of the best cantripping creatures. A staple of most of my budget white decks is Spirited Companion
Because Teshar wants us to cast historic spells to recur creatures, artifact creatures become that much better here. I included Circuit Mender
But I didn't just want to add creatures that drew us cards. After all, there are plenty of powerful creatures at three mana or less, even on a budget. If we want to beat face with tokens, Digsite Engineer
The Combo
Don't think just because this is a budget deck we couldn't include an infinite combo. To find all the variations of this combo, you can check out Commander Spellbook for the full list. All you need is to have Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle
- Cast Myr Retrieverfrom your hand.
- Sacrifice it to Blasting Stationdealing one damage to an opponent.
- Cast Ornithopterand return Myr Retrieverto the battlefield with Teshar's ability, which untaps Blasting Station.
- Ornithopterwill enter the battlefield, triggering Blasting Station's untap ability. With that untap trigger on the stack, sacrifice Ornithopterdealing one damage to an opponent.
- Blasting Stationwill untap, allowing you to sacrifice Myr Retrieverto deal one damage to an opponent.
- Return Ornithopterto your hand with Myr Retriever's ability.
- Repeat steps 3-6 for infinite damage to your opponents. You also get infinite ETBs, LTBs, storm, death triggers, and sacrifice triggers.
This combo works with any zero-mana artifact that can sacrifice itself the same turn, such as Mishra's Bauble
Second Sunrise
My absolute favorite card in the deck has to be Second Sunrise
If you want to try something risky but really fun you could add Zuran Orb
