Zada, Hedron Grinder

Gameplan

Flood the board with creatures, then cast a cheap targeted cantrip or pump spell at Zada to copy it onto your entire team for free. You snowball card advantage with copied draw spells or generate a lethal swing with copied combat tricks. The deck wins by chaining spells into an overwhelming alpha strike or by drawing your whole deck and finishing with reach.

Key Cards

• Expedite — Cheap cantrip with haste that gets copied to draw cards and enable surprise attacks across the team.
• Mad Ratter — With Zada, a single targeted spell creates a token for every creature, exploding your board even wider.
• Reckless Charge — Copies to give the whole team +3/+0 and haste for one red mana, often a lethal swing.
• Goblin Bushwhacker — Kicked, it pumps and hastes your token army for the alpha strike Zada builds toward.
• Akroma's Memorial — Grants evasion and haste so your wide board actually connects for the kill.
• Mass Hysteria — Cheap board-wide haste that lets freshly made tokens attack the turn they arrive.

Upgrade Path

Add ritual creatures and rituals (Birgi, God of Storytelling; Pyretic Ritual) to fuel free-cast cantrip loops that draw and damage simultaneously. Prioritize cheap haste enablers and protection like Heroic Intervention-equivalent red effects (Boros Charm splash aside, lean on Deflecting Swat and Tibalt's Trickery interaction). Tighten the curve with the most efficient one-mana targeted cantrips and add a fast wide-token package so Zada is online by turn three or four.
