On top of that pretenders get a bonus for being in their own dominion, but I can't remember offhand what the maximum is.
If you are willing to include artifacts then you could also use the Mage Bane sword for (+5) and replace the starshine cap with Amon Hotep (+5-2=3). Oh, and heavy drain dominion will never give you more than + 1 to MR at drain 2. That would put your MR at 48. And I think that a pretender gets 1 point of extra MR for every 2 candles for a maximum of +5. So if it is a pretender with full slots in dom 10 the maximum would be 53?

Not like it maters with Dominions RNG. One of the most bull**** battles I ever saw included a Wyrm with MR 28 die to a single casting of soulslay from a mage with no penetration boosters, on turn 1. The guy that had the Wyrm pretender went AI and seem to have left the dominions community shortly after that battle.
