Maybeboard


This is my second experiment with hyper-budget EDH decks (after $25 Extreme Budget $idisi EDH), and I'm loving how smoothly it plays!

This one is based upon my successful Zada deck (Red Scare: Zada EDH | *PRIMER*), and the main goal is as follows:-- Make as many tokens as possible.

-- Target Zada with spells like Expedite that draw me a card for each creature I control.

-- Cast a card like Twinflame or Chancellor of the Forges that doubles my creature count for a turn (bonus points for casting Twinflame while you control CotF, thus quadrupling your creatures).

-- Cast multiple large buffs like Screaming Fury or Downhill Charge , then swing for lethal. Alternate win conditions include Burn at the Stake and Ignite Memories (currently in the maybeboard).

The deck currently tends to storm out around turn 6 or 7, which is quite respectable for a deck that costs less than a commander precon. However, this deck is actually below budget at the moment! This means I can add some more expensive cards from the maybeboard.

What would you add, and still keep the price below $25? (Note: $25 on TCG-Low is about $40 on TCG-Mid, so we have about $15 of value to play with.)
