Commando Raid
Instant
Until end of turn, target creature you control gains "When this creature deals combat damage to a player, you may have it deal damage equal to its power to target creature that player controls."

I love Zada, Hedron Grinder one of my first few decks I built because it was budget friendly but still packed a punch. The removal that is available to you because of zada is actually pretty fun you can gang up on a single target with all your creatures: Go for Blood, Soul's Fire, Arcbond,Commando Raid, Deadshot, Swift Kick.
Also like Ramble said you can use steal effects and sac your opponents creatures to cards like Goblin Bombardment or Barrage of Expendables or your classic Phyrexian Altar. The good thing about the steal cards are you can use them on your own creatures to untap your board or give haste while they also serve to steal.
A few I'd recommend although I personally don't use them:
- Kari Zev's Expertise: Free Cantrips for the price of one!
- Hijack: Artifacts why not
- Harness by Force: Average but with Battle Hymn it has potential to be a budget Insurrection
- Bond of Passion: Pricey but with six goblins on the battlefield its like you're casting six Shocks
- Besmirch: Goad is good
- Traitorous Greed: Can be used for ramp
- Malevolent Whispers: Pump your team or steal
Looking at your decklist we more or less have the same cards which isn't surprising Zada is a pretty linear build if you do goblin tribal, but if you break away there are a couple fun things you can do such as Chaos Warp your entire board. I would cut Dualcaster Mage and Reiterate as they don't do much for Zada because Zada already does what they do but for free. Also Birgi, God of Storytelling Flip is great.

@hejtmane Be careful with Soul's Fire aswell as Fall of the Hammer, they do not work with Zada. I see this mistake very often. (it is even on edhrec on 23%) Spells need to only target Zada to be copied and both cards have two targets. (Unless of course you target Zada with the damage aswell but that would just kill all your creatures.)
Commando Raid looks like a fine card. My Zada Deck is an all out storm deck so i don't do much combat. (this is my reason for not having it)

I'm building a Zada deck, and it seems like Commando Raid should be an all-star, but I haven't seen it anywhere in Zada decklists. So does anyone know why Commando Raid isn't as popular? Thanks!

Hey dude, nice deck.
Jus thought I'd let you know Fall of the Hammer doesn't work with Zada because it has more than one target (your creature and opponent creature. Commando Raid is another option which is a bit tricky to get going, but has awesome Ron Spencer art.

In general, way too light on the creatures. You are trying to aggro swarm them.. you're going to need a swarm. :)
Caterwauling Boggart seems good for you
Heat Shimmer is silly if you have enough bodies
Gratuitous Violence - always solid for aggro
Eldrazi Monument - for when you add more creatures
Strionic Resonator - for double copies
Charmbreaker Devils - recur stuff
Galvanoth - super fun
Overblaze - kablam!
Commando Raid - kill stuff
Possibility Storm - stack those triggers for double spells
Chandra Ablaze - because damn
Past in Flames - ditto
Mizzix's Mastery - holy hell!
