Deadshot

Sorcery

Tap target creature. It deals damage equal to its power to another target creature.

I love Zada, Hedron Grinder one of my first few decks I built because it was budget friendly but still packed a punch. The removal that is available to you because of zada is actually pretty fun you can gang up on a single target with all your creatures: Go for Blood, Soul's Fire, Arcbond,Commando Raid, Deadshot, Swift Kick.

Also like Ramble said you can use steal effects and sac your opponents creatures to cards like Goblin Bombardment or Barrage of Expendables or your classic Phyrexian Altar. The good thing about the steal cards are you can use them on your own creatures to untap your board or give haste while they also serve to steal.

A few I'd recommend although I personally don't use them:

  1. Kari Zev's Expertise: Free Cantrips for the price of one!
  2. Hijack: Artifacts why not
  3. Harness by Force: Average but with Battle Hymn it has potential to be a budget Insurrection
  4. Bond of Passion: Pricey but with six goblins on the battlefield its like you're casting six Shocks
  5. Besmirch: Goad is good
  6. Traitorous Greed: Can be used for ramp
  7. Malevolent Whispers: Pump your team or steal

Looking at your decklist we more or less have the same cards which isn't surprising Zada is a pretty linear build if you do goblin tribal, but if you break away there are a couple fun things you can do such as Chaos Warp your entire board. I would cut Dualcaster Mage and Reiterate as they don't do much for Zada because Zada already does what they do but for free. Also Birgi, God of Storytelling  Flip is great.

Hey there.

Just letting you know that Fall of the Hammer and Deadshot don't work with Zada, because they target your creature and the opponent's creature, not just Zada.

I'd definitely recommend having a few more cantrips in there, you can draw some serious amounts of cards with Zada this way. Expedite is a killer.

I have a budget Zada build which serves me well, check it out:

Ok. I'm back. I think the first real step is to upgrade your mana base. Try going down to 10 to 15 basics here. The lands you should use depend on your budget. You could use http://manabasecrafter.com/ to get an idea of what lands you could use.

I want to emphasize that your deck is in desperate need of things that generate immediate value. Many of your cards are high costing and take a while to get going. Things like Lurking Predators are just too slow. I know you've got a fight theme going on, so I'll try to not touch it as much as I can. Still, I recommend you axe the following cards:

Ok, so that's a lot of cards to cut. Now what to run instead?

Don't be afraid to ask me why I recommended a card, suggested you take one out, or if you have other questions.

I agree with the above, it would make more sense for the damage to be dealt according to the creature's power. E.g. Deadshot
