Deck History

The original deck despite me liking it very much never won a single game, so I looked around for inspiration and found a couple of combo-based builds for Teshar. That left me with a lot of really good equipments "going to waste" and thus, Sram's Armory was born. Sram will now be intended for Duel, while this Teshar build only works for Multiplayer due to a couple of banned fast-mana cards.

Generating Resources



  • ETB Loops, Mana Generation: Teshar + Mana generating Sac Outlet + Enabler (0CMC or self-paying artifacts) + Retriever (Myr Retriever, Scrap Trawler, Junk Diver...)

Winning Combos and Loops (examples, other combinations do apply):

  • Bounce ETB: Teshar + Bouncer (Aviary Mechanic, Kor Skyfisher) + Sac Outlet (Phyrexian Alter, Ashnod's Altar) + Enablers (0CMC Artifacts, Mana artifacts like Sol-Ring or Retrievers: Myr Retriever, Junk Diver, or Scrap Trawler) + Storm Outlet (Aether Reservoir, Altar of the Brood, Altar of Dementia, Relic Vial)

Steps: 1. Sac Bouncer; 2. Cast Enabler, Triggers: get Bouncer back to Field (and Aether Reservoir); 3. Bounce the Enabler, 4. Sac Bouncer...


  • Retriever Loop: Teshar + Sac Outlet (Ashnod's Altar, Phyrexian Altar, Altar of Dementia) + Retriever (e.g. Myr Retriever, Junk Diver, Scrap Trawler) + Trigger Artifact + Storm Outlet (e.g. Ashnod's Altar, Relic Vial, Altar of the Brood)

Steps: 1. Sac Retriever, Triggers Storm Outlet; 2. Cast Trigger Artifact, Triggers: Retriever is back in Game; 3. Repeat...

Hint: Ashnod's Altar Is both a Sac and Storm Outlet


  • Blasting: Teshar + Sac Outlet (Blasting Station, Mortarpod) + a creature ETB Combo (e.g. "Myr Retriever + Myr Moonvessel")

Hints: Puresteel Paladin helps a great deal here with Mortarpot. Otherwise pay for the Equipment cost by having a Mana Sac-Outlet on the side (see below)


  • Infinite Mana Blowout: Sac Outlet (e.g. Ashnod's Altar) + Enabler (e.g. Myr Moonvessel) + Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle + Storm Outlet (e.g. Walking Ballista) + Scrap Trawler

Steps: 1. Sac Ballista into Ashnod's Altar (2 Mana), 2. Sac Moonvessel (3 Mana), Trigger: Scrap Trawler -> get Ballista back in your hand, 3. play Ballista for 2 (=1 counter), 1 mana from Moonvessel left in the Pool, 4. Rinse and Repeat from Step 1, generate Infinite Mana with Moonvessel, Blow out with Storm Outlet (eg. Walking Ballista or Mirror Entity)


Steps: 1. Give Ballista (min. 2 counters) or Monoskelion Lifelink. Shoot 1 damage, Heliod Trigger will give them a counter back.


  • Milling: Teshar + Sac Outlet (Altar of Dementia) + Retriever + 2 Enablers

Steps: 1. Sac Retriever, 2. Cast Enabler!A -> Teshar-cast-Trigger brings Retriever to the field, 3. ETB!Trigger Retriever gives Enabler B in your hand. 4. Sac Enabler!A, 5. Sac Retriever, 6. Play Enabler!B (rinse and repeat from Step 2)

Alternative A: this also works with a regular Sac Outlet (Ashnod or Phyrexian Altar) and ETB Storm Outlets (Aether Reservoir, Altar of the Brood, Relic Vial).

Hint: Myr Moonvessel is 2 Enablers in one (as it pays for itself): 1. Sac Moonvessel into Altar of Dementia (1 Mana in the Pool), 2. Sac Retriever: Trigger -> get Moonvessel in Hand, 3. Cast Moonvessel for its own Mana in the Pool, Teshar Trigger -> Retriever to the Field, 4. Rinse and Repeat from Step 1

Help wanted

You're welcome to point out Combos to me that I'm missing. It's easier in-game than just looking on it on-paper and I didn't have the chance to do a lot of playtests yet. Also feel free to point out things in the Maybeboard I am incredibly idiotic for not running yet :D I'll probably have a reason for it, but I'm open to try things with this deck.

Possible changes for Duel

To Remove:

Mana Crypt / Mox Opal / Sol Ring / Sensei's Divining Topfoil

Options:

Ramp: Gleaming Barrier / Cathodion / Helm of Awakening

Combo: Witch's Oven / Grinding Stationfoil

Optional: Genesis Chamber / Mishra's Bauble / Dark Sphere
