One of my favorite things in magic is outdrawing blue decks in colors that shouldn't and here's that in mono red.

The main gameplan of this deck is to get Zada, Hedron Grinder, a bunch of tokens (mostly goblins) and target Zada with a cantrip like Accelerate or Renegade Tactics.

There's a lot of big mana to let you play your big hand with cards like Gauntlet of Might Gauntlet of Power and Caged Sun which also help make your tokens a force to be reckoned with.

There are a few win conditions beyond attacking with tokens which are all based on your giant hand: Cinder Seer effects, Seismic Assault effects, Firestorm and Psychosis Crawler.

Other fun things include effective board wipes from things like Soul's Fire and Mana Echoes which I'm not sure I took full advantage of but should give absurd amounts of mana with all the goblin tokens.

Any suggestions or comments are welcome. I know this deck suffers as most of mine do from being too focussed on doing its own thing and not very responsive though I'm never quite sure what to trim or add to fix that problem.
