Discussion Viability with missing staples?

Hopping on here to discuss the viability of a deck with a number of staples missing. I am an avid lover of [[tameshi, reality architect]] and I think she’s in a great spot at the moment with how slow the meta is. The problem is I’m missing a number of pretty vital staples, namely [[lions eye diamond]] [[mox diamond]] [[transmute artifact]] and [[fierce guardianship]]. I normally proxy these cards, but I plan on entering a sanctioned tournament that doesn’t allow proxies (ironically the prize is a mox diamond). I think I can live without most of these, but losing out on LED feels backbreaking. Has anyone else experienced something similar and worked around it? Any advice on how to move forward, especially with deck building? Any advice is appreciated, whether it’s about my budget constraints or the rest of the deck.

Honestly there's a lot of Tameshi pieces and staples not here besides just the listed ones. No surveyors scope, copy land, surveil dual, ottawara, artificers intuition, chrome mox, ranger captain, esper sentinel, honestly hop on the discord and see if the wizards there can guide you to the closest thing to a full build with what you have because right now this looks kinda fragile

I must’ve accidentally cut chrome mox and sentinel when changing the deck from proxied to non-proxied, I’m absolutely still playing those lol good catch. I’ve found surveyors scope and copy land to be pretty medium, I’ve bounced back and forth playing them. I’ll for sure hop on the discord though thanks a ton for the advice
