Still a WIP, Main strategy is to cast Tazri ASAP, search for Zada, and then Cantrip your way into a win condition. Often times the cantrips themselves can become a win condition. I'm looking for oddball cards to add for my casual version and way to increase efficiency when I turn this into a more "competitive" deck. I want it to remain a fairly budget deck, however I am planning on adding the Food Chain combo in the near future along with some budget tutors.

Turntimber Ranger + Arcane Adaption

Hagra Diabolist + Rite of Replication (In 1v1)

Jeskai Ascendancy + 2 Mana Dorks + literally any cantrip will usually lead to drawing your deck, winning by flashing in Lab Maniac.

With Zada out a lot of different win conditions come out.

Zada + Cloudshift + Mnemonic Wall or Izzet Chronarch or Eternal Witness = Infinite ETB effects

There are plenty of other synergies in there but I'm still working on easing them out and figuring out what works the best. I recently added in the blink effects after adding in Otherworldly Journey on a whim. The one thing I want to keep is the focus on Zada. She's just too much fun to use.
