clayperce on Zada, turbo grinder [[PRIMER]] [[HIGH B3]]

I've been a huge fan of Zada ever since she and Mirrorwing Dragon were in Standard; it's great to see her rocking Commander now.

Big +1!

Also Mirrorwing Dragon could be a decent replacement for the Wurmcoil Engine you said you're disappointed with. There's not much in the way of control mitigation for dragons or artifacts, but opponents really hate sniping him.

Bonehoard Dracosaur is also GREAT value each turn, and he's cheap enough to cast that you don't have to worry so much about needing to tutor him into play.

Hope some of this helps, Cheers!

Yes, you will still get the copies. The spell is not targeted by Mirrorwing Dragon's ability and will not therefore fizzle. The ability will require information from the game (the spell's copiable characteristics) and will use last known information since the spell is no longer in the expected zone.

Hi there,

If I cast an int or sorc spell that triggers Mirrorwing Dragon's ability and that spell gets countered before mirrorwing's ability resolves, does it still get copied?

Thanks.

So I play stuff like Zada, Hedron Grinder and Mirrorwing Dragon so that when I cast Brute Force or Built to Smash and then cast Gods Willing targeting them, ALL my creatures are unblockable (from the protection) and pumped. I think the equipment and a lot of the creatures you selected are fun value cards, but its gotta be hard to close the game. Making things big, hard to kill, and unblockable...well that can close the game easily. Young Pyromancer and Leonin Lightscribe and probably better than Electrostatic Field and the spell recursion seems to go against the current, since your spells are rarely going to the graveyard. If you want I could upload my feather deck list when I get home later and you could sort of see the direction I decided to take it. Yours seems to want to grind out value, mine is more about killing your opponents

Zada, Hedron Grinder Mirrorwing Dragon Balefire Liege and Chandra's Ignition are all awesome in feather. Really fun deck.

More dragons (I got distracted and couldn't stop thinking about it):

• Akoum Hellkite: free bolts every turn

• Themberchaud: board wipe on a stick

• Cavern-Hoard Dragon: hard counters that pesky artifact player

• Atsushi, the Blazing Sky: great value for 4 mana

• Stormbreath Dragon: hasty beater and great dump for mana in the late game

• Realm-Scorcher Hellkite: more tools on the battlefield after you cast it

• Thundermaw Hellkite: can pave the way for you to kill one or more players on a turn

• Mirrorwing Dragon: beater that's hard to remove with spot removal

• Terror of Mount Velus: game ender

• Hellkite Charger: multiple combat steps

• Ryusei, the Falling Star: hold the table's nonflyers hostage. Kind of expensive though

Other potentially useful mono red tools: Treasonous Ogre for excellent mana production, Heartless Hidetsugu to speed up the game, Impact Tremors for free damage with all these creatures, Dictate of the Twin Gods to speed up the game and surprise kill people after blocks are declared.

A hot take: if you wanted, you could swap the commander for Magda, Brazen Outlaw and split the deck into a bit of a Dwarf/Dragon tribal idea. She can tutor for Dragons and helps you create the mana to get them out, more of an engine in the command zone than Drakuseth's removal. Would need to swap some of the Dragons for Dwarves and refactor the theme a little, so it's really a different deck, but figured I'd suggest it.

StratM on Krark, the Flipless

king-saprolingI'm not a huge fan of Zada, Hedron Grinder or Mirrorwing Dragon because if I make tokens of anything it would be Krark, the Thumbless. I get that you can make a ton of tokens with that combo but I want it to be themed heavily on flipping coins.
