How would people build this? I’m mostly looking at Glissa, the Traitor + Teshar, Ancestor’s Apostle i.e. eggs + small creatures recursion centric, though might also go +1/+1 counter route.
I'd use Doran or Anafenza while starting out. If you find you want/need the partners' abilities, I would change to them later. The first two are so cheap, throw people off their games, and are outside of Bolt range, so I think they are excellent test subjects (and give you an extra card in your deck) until a perfect general comes along.
Daghatar also is an option because he supports +1/+1 counters and is less color-restrictive.
I had the thought of making an artifact deck, but with Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa & Silas Renn, Seeker Adept, that combination helps recurring artifacts. But that adds blue to the mix and I don't know if you can consider adding an additional color.

The combo makes sense, and works well with Teshar's small-creature theme.
You could also go with Karador, Ghost Chieftain. He'd allow you to pull Teshar or Glissa from the grave really easily and start your recursion engines all over again if they're destroyed.

Apparently, though who shall lead this deck? Karador himself already has plenty of creature recur, a mix of Ravos, Soultender/Reyhan, Last of the Abzan/Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa/Tymna the Weaver seems to fit the theme better.
