Audacious Swap

Instant

Casualty 2 (As you cast this spell, you may sacrifice a creature with power 2 or greater. When you do, copy this spell and you may choose a new target for the copy.)

The owner of target nonenchantment permanent shuffles it into their library, then exiles the top card of their library. If it's a land card, they put it onto the battlefield. Otherwise, they may cast it without paying its mana cost.

NoNeedToBragoBoutIt on Zada - Goblin Grinder

Thanks for your input, KongMing!

I am very hesitant, when it comes to excess damage tech, since its payoff would have to be greater than losing my existing board. Goblin Negotiation would require me to have a buff already to trade up and keep Zada, Hedron Grinder, because otherwise at X=2 i would trade in my 1/1s for fresh 1/1s of the same amount. Hell to Pay is a little akward. Trading in a board for tons of tapped treasures at sorcery speed means i would need to survive until my next turn without blockers, but will likely win then. Bottle-Cap Blast is less risky, since i can blast it off EOT before my turn. But 5 mana is a lot for a deck that's built around curving out aggressively.

I might have to test run the package, but i'm not too optimistic.

When it comes to Krark, the Thumbless, i did run him for a few months, but once you go off, i found him to be too tedious to resolve in Paper. He's likely a lot better, if you have a less storm-ish approach that resolves more around single spells like Audacious Swap, Fiery Gambit or as in my build Daring Discovery.

Goblin Negotiation, Hell to Pay, and Bottle-Cap Blast can deliver some amazing returns with this build.

Also highly recommend you add Krark, the Thumbless with the high number of Instants and Sorceries you're packing.

More of a gamble, but Audacious Swap and Fiery Gambit can also win games.

Hi! I used your deck as an starting point when I made my own and I like your comments and updates. Would love to know if you have found anything interesting in Streets of New Capenna.

I think Boon of Safety is amazing as it might be a less reliable "indestructible" giver at first, but allows for stacking for later turns. In combination with Zada you could end up with a bunch of creatures with an stupid amount shield counters each if you keep playing it every turn.

From the precon Commander decks I like Audacious Swap in combination with Monastery Mentor and other token creatures. Tenuous Truce also looks great in order to make some good friends
