I mean, the Teshar loop I ended up having in my pool involved Radiant Lotus, so I had to get... put a six-mana artifact in play to then turn on the Teshar loops, and I was like, that just seems like way too much mana for a card that doesn't really do much outside of having Teshar and, like, two other cards and maybe doing a combo.
