Zada is an explosive commander. Getting him out fast with a had full of “Roids” can potentially be the end of a player. Given his ability and how it effects all your creatures, the game can be relatively short. There are a few ways to completely devastate your opponents with hordes of creatures and make them super beefy

Combos, Synergies

So, given that we are in red and that’s kind of a problem when it comes to drawing cards, there is a way around this that Zada, Hedron Grinder does very well. If we can get a few creatures out there with Zada we can play cards like Balduvian Rage, Fists of Flame, Crimson Wisps, Renegade Tactics, Expedite, Stun.

As it is hard in red to draw cards. It is also a pain to gain mana. But once again with Zada we can accumulate so much mana that we just run out of things to spend it on. Let’s say we have Zada, Hedron Grinder and Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin, with a few pump spells we can make Krenko BIG! Entering combat, we tap Krenko and make (X) goblin creatures. With all these creatures now under our control we can use spell that can give us next turn advantage and possible next turn win. Playing cards like: Battle Hymn, Brightstone Ritual, Mana Echoes.

Now we can make this a very creature heavy battlefield. With what cards we have in this deck, that can quickly overwhelm our opponents. Dragon Fodder, Krenko's Command, Empty the Warrens, Hordeling Outburst and a few others.

Doubling everything that was mentioned can be a salty yet satisfying way of finishing off your opponents. There are a number of spell doublers in here and also some graveyard recasting. Such as: Past in Flames, Dualcaster Mage, Reverberate, Mizzix's Mastery.
