Tetsuo, Imperial Champion

Gameplan

Suit up Tetsuo with high-mana-value Equipment, then attack to either burn down threats/opponents or free-cast big instants and sorceries from hand. The deck plays as an aggressive Voltron/spellslinger hybrid: cheap to recast at 3 mana, Tetsuo wants to connect every turn to snowball value and damage. You win by either Voltron commander damage or chaining free-cast bombs into a finisher.

Key Cards

• Batterskull — High mana value gives big damage/free-cast ceilings while its Germ token and vigilance/lifelink protect Tetsuo.
• Colossus Hammer — Cheap to attach with Sigarda's Aid and makes Tetsuo a lethal Voltron threat fast.
• Sword of Feast and Famine — Protection colors keep Tetsuo alive and the untap effect lets you double-spend mana each turn.
• Sigarda's Aid — Lets you attach Equipment at flash speed and for free, enabling surprise lethal attacks.
• Expropriate — A premier free-cast target whose game-ending value is doubled by trigger when cast off Tetsuo for free.
• Puresteel Paladin — Free Equipment attaches with metalcraft and draws cards as Equipment hits the field.

Upgrade Path

Add efficient Equipment that enable cheap attaches (Stoneforge Mystic, Sigarda's Aid, Puresteel Paladin) and protection like Swiftfoot Boots and Lightning Greaves. Tune the instant/sorcery package toward high-impact free-cast targets and tutors (Vampiric Tutor, Demonic Tutor) to assemble Equipment plus payoffs faster. Push the mana base with fast rocks and dual lands so you can recast Tetsuo and still hold up protection.
