Strategy
Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle turns your graveyard into a resource engine by rewarding you for casting historic spells—artifacts, legendaries, and Sagas. Every time you cast one of these, you get to reanimate a small creature from your graveyard, building a steady board presence while filling your deck with utility. The core gameplan is to load up on cheap historic artifacts (like Ornithopter, Memnite, and Ichor Wellspring) alongside efficient legendaries and Sagas, then chain them together to fill the board with creatures and generate value.
You'll want to focus on artifact creatures, equipment, and legendary spells that either generate mana, draw cards, or create tokens when they enter. Cards like Solemn Simulacrum, Skyclave Relic, and The Restoration of Eiganjo give you multiple triggers while advancing your plan. Your reanimated creatures steadily pressure opponents while you accrue resources, and Teshar's flying body helps chip in damage. The deck wins through a combination of recurring creature beats and grinding out card advantage until opponents can't keep pace.
