Deck overview

This is a Grixis equipment-voltron deck built around Tetsuo, Imperial Champion. The plan is to suit Tetsuo up with high-mana-value equipment, then turn each attack into a repeatable burn spell or a free instant/sorcery cast from hand. The deck leans heavily on extra combat effects to chain multiple combats in a single turn, with Buster Sword and The Key to the Vault generating free casts while Relentless Assault, Seize the Day, and Savage Beating supply the extra combat steps. There are no infinite combos; victory comes from overwhelming combat damage, Tetsuo's trigger burning opponents, and the occasional Chandra's Ignition finisher. The deck is a mid-speed value/combat deck that wants to set up Tetsuo, protect him with hexproof/ward equipment, and snowball through repeated attack triggers before opponents can stabilize.
