How it grades
Fundamentals 61/100.
No single established archetype dominates. This is its own brew around Teferi, Temporal Archmage, so the fundamentals below carry the grade. Teferi, Temporal Archmage sits on the cEDH tier list, so the ceiling here is tournament-grade, and experienced tables will treat it that way. Its strongest fundamental is mana reliability (Your spells reliably arrive on time for this curve); the first thing to tighten is commander synergy: Only 0 of 61 spells play into your commanders' plan. Counts the builds players run with your commanders (Artifacts; from EDHREC).
