Yesterday on Can Zada, Hedron Grinder copy …

When you copy a spell, you copy its number of targets.

If you cast Twin Bolt with only Zada, Hedron Grinder as its target, you copy it for each of your three tokens and don't have an opportunity to split the damage with another target.

Fall of the Hammer won't trigger Zada because she isn't the only target for the spell.

Examples:

Let's say I have 3 2/2 creature tokens and Zada, Hedron Grinder in play, I cast Twin Bolt and target Zada, Hedron Grinder with the 2 damage, she triggers and copies Twin Bolt 3 more times; would I be able to divide the 3 copies of Twin Bolt 's damage?

The other example would be the same scenario as the top, but instead of Twin Bolt it's something like Fall of the Hammer

Maybe a Forked Bolt in place of Twin Bolt?

Maybe Magma Jet instead of Twin Bolt. Anger of the Gods is a boardwipe you might want to use. Pia and Kiran Nalaar and Stormbreath Dragon are good creatures and Pyrite Spellbomb is a good artifact.

+2 Twin Bolt, +2 Perilous Myr, +2 Magma Spray

-2 Harvest Pyre, -2 Tremble -2 Ichor Wellspring (too slow to waste turn 2)

I often side in 2 Red Elemental Blasts for a BorderPost and a Tremble. Even 4, if I am feeling super salty. The trick here is to not let them make a board and get rid of all Timberwatch Elfs. Land destruction is hard in this match-up because most of their creatures produce mana. Surviving their initial is key.

Or Twin Bolt, Twin Bolt, Arc Lightning. This needs further testing.

Note to self: Replace Soulfire Grand Master with a Wild Slash, a Shock, a Twin Bolt, and a Warleader's Helix. Swap the two Recumbent Blisses for the two Pacifisms. Have the Tarfires instead of the Fiery Impulses. Remove the Blazing Hope and the Erase for a couple Mudbutton Torchrunners.

You only have the one Sun-Crowned Hunters, which makes that a target for anyone playing control against you. Also an immediate target to Path. There are definitely better alternatives to Twin Bolt that aren't expensive as well. You may also consider running Kinjalli's Caller. Best of luck and let us know how it does!!
