Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle

Commander / EDH

stardust78


A combo deck using infinite recursion to either mill or ping your opponents to death.

Numerous comboes are available, but the most simple is:

1. Altar of Dementia + Myr Retriever + Tormod's Crypt + Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle (Of course). Play like this: Have Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle and Altar of Dementia on the board, Tormod's Crypt in your hand and Myr Retriever in your graveyard. Play your Crypt, return Myr retriever to the battlefield on Teshars trigger, Sac your crypt to exile an opponents graveyard, then sac Myr Retriever to Altar of Dementia to mill your opponent. Choose to return Tormod's Crypt to your hand, cast it for free to start the loop all over again.

Replacements: All other artifacts that can be easily sacrifised and cast "for free": zero mana stuff Ornithopter, mana generating stuff Cathodion and by using cost reducers Jhoira's Familiar can be used as an replacement for Tormod's Crypt in the example.

This combo can be performed with cantrip artifacts such as Golden Egg to create a game ending settup. Cards capable of ending games are: Altar of Dementia, Grinding Station, Blasting Station, Perilous Myr and Altar of the Brood (maybe with some other combo that i have'nt found yet).

Removal: Some cards here seem a bit unusuall and quite frankly bad; Leonin Relic-Warder, Fiend Hunter and Mangara of Corondor. However because we can sacrefice these creatures in response to their ETB, their triggers start working a bit unusually: ETB happens, we sac in response, the cards LTB triggers, finds no target to return, the ETB resolves, exileing the opponents permanent. Mangara of Corondor works in a simiuler way, we sac it on its abillity activation making Mangara an uneligable target, exileing only your opponents permanent.
