---

This deck is ridiculous because you make a handful of tokens for a bit and then have game-winning turns out of nowhere. Consistency is sometimes an issue but it's a ton of fun the whole time.

Premise is tokens -> Zada -> pump spells to overwhelm. Our spells are cheap and so it's not too difficult to kill someone turn 5 or 6 with the right setup.

Twinflame and Heat Shimmer are nuts. Renegade Tactics effects have you drawing cards equal to number of creatures (cast either EOT of an opponent, or on your own turn to dig for more spells).

Koth of the Hammer, Treasonous Ogre, or Battle Hymn should give you the gas to pull out a win, provided you have a draw spell.

Suggestions welcome, but please look below first!

Exclusions

Cards I'm not running on purpose

• Sol Ring: Playgroup ban
• Caged Sun / Gauntlet of Power: By the time we have 6 mana, we should be killing people, not taking a turn off to cast an artifact that we likely won't untap with anyway
• Strionic Resonator: This ended up being more cute than useful, in the end
