Any tips on how to build around Tetsuo, Imperial Champion? I’ve seen decks that copy spells that give Tetsuo evasion, but I would much prefer a suite of instants and sorceries that has more variety. Also, what are the best high cmc equipments?

Tetsuo, Imperial Champion is such a cool card. A bit... "difficult" to build around, for sure, but he has such an interesting design that it's one of those commanders that I've wanted to build around since release and is always on my "next deck" radar.

Thoughts on Toralf, God of Fury  Flip? The attack trigger damage from Tetsuo can turn into a pseudo board-wipe if he has a big enough equipment on him.

I don't know if I have any other recommendations for the deck but I definitely recommend checking out the new cards from Phyrexia: All Will Be One and it's commander decks. There's a good handful of cards there that may be of interest. Namely Hexplate Wallbreaker (not on Tappedout yet), Sword of Forge and Frontier and Dragonwing Glider.
