Borderline competitive commander deck featuring Zada, Hedron Grinder. The strategy is straightforward - go wide playing as many cheap creatures and creature tokens as possible. Ramp up to Zada and then play her and target her with card draw focused instants and sorceries. Those instants and sorceries will multiply for each creature you control and you'll draw large hands of cheap draw, ramp, and buff spells to target Zada with. Aim to buff all your creatures up using Zada's ability and demolish all your enemies in one to two turns or go the storm route and win the game with an Aetherflux Reservoir payoff. There is also a third win condition where you combine Dualcaster Mage with Heat Shimmer or Twinflame to go infinite.
