Assaultron Dominator enters with a built-in deathtouch laser and a triggered ability that lets it copy any Robot on the battlefield, turning a single card into whatever your board most needs. The cost is a five-mana body that does nothing if your Robot count is zero — run it in dedicated artifact creature decks or don't bother. Liberty Prime, Recharged is exactly the shell that justifies it.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Liberty Prime, Recharged
Liberty Prime, Recharged cares about amassing an army of Robots, and Assaultron Dominator's copy trigger fires every time you attack — meaning it can replicate your best Robot each combat step, stacking counters and pressure simultaneously.
Dr. Madison Li
Dr. Madison Li tutors and cheats out artifact creatures, and Assaultron Dominator slots in as both a threat and a flexible threat-copier, letting the deck respond to whatever the table presents without needing a dedicated answer in hand.
Satya, Aetherflux Genius
Satya, Aetherflux Genius creates token copies of artifact creatures you control, and Assaultron Dominator's own copy ability means Satya's triggers can spiral — each new Robot token potentially feeding more copies the following turn.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Commander is where Assaultron Dominator actually earns its slot: Robot tribal is a real archetype, games go long enough for the copy trigger to matter multiple times, and five mana is acceptable in a 40-life format. Legacy and Vintage are legal but irrelevant — no competitive Robot synergy exists there, and a five-mana creature without immediate game-breaking impact doesn't survive those tables. Oathbreaker is legal, and if you're running a Robot-matters planeswalker it's a fine inclusion, but the card pool is narrow enough that the opportunity rarely arises.

Price Context
Current price
$0.76 bulk tier
At $0.76, Assaultron Dominator sits firmly in bulk territory — easy to pick up as a four-of for any Robot build without budget strain. Bulk rares tied to narrow tribal themes tend to stay cheap, so don't expect price movement unless Robot support expands significantly.
