My take on the dominarian legend: Tetsuo, Imperial Champion.

The gameplan:

Equip Tetsuo and either cast free spells from your hand or cause burn damage (especially good with deathtouch, lifelink and infect). The "free spells" are cards that make tetsuo unblockable, make my lands untap and cards with the suspend mechanic. I want the spells to support tetsuo on dealing more combat damage and getting him through rather than having spellslinging goodstuff. This deck wins with either with commander damage/lots of combat damage , the few infect cards Grafted Exoskeleton, Tainted Strike, Phyresis or with Vorpal Sword. There are also two infinite combos: Godo, Bandit Warlord + Helm of the Host and Akki Battle Squad + Sword of Hearth and Home

What I also really like is the fact that Tetsuos ability ignores suspend, which makes Wheel of Fate a Wheel of Fortune. Tetsuo also has fun interactions with Frantic Search and Snap, I can untap lands and still draw cards/bounce a creature for "free".

If you like the voltron strategy (especially the possibility to one-shot an opponent), samurai and are a sucker for the Umezawa lore, then this deck is for you. This deck either hits hard or gets overwhelmed by go-wide strategies. It is also difficult to recover, when peeople keep removing the commander, which is a downside of any voltron deck, but there are ways to protect tetsuo in this deck for this very reason.

Finally, this deck needs to see more play and may require improvement.
