YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS

It's time to cast little creatures, little spells, and make them big, BIG, BIG!

Zada, Hedron Grinder is one of the most interesting goblins ever printed. I think this deck will either completely fizzle, or it will really go off -- depending on the night.

It all relies on Zada being on the battlefield. If she keeps getting removed, enchanted by an opponent, or otherwise blocked, then we are pretty well shut down.

But if we can get her onto the battlefield and keep her there long enough, then we can draw so many cards with Balduvian Rage, Crimson Wisps, or any of the other instants and sorceries that include drawing as an effect, create loads of treasure tokens, and (most importantly) swing at our opponents and chip away at their life.

This doesn't mean we don't have some alternate wincons:

Impact Tremors or Witty Roastmaster open up the opportunity for some wincons.

Dualcaster Mage + Twinflame gives us infinite tokens.

As does Splinter Twin + Zealous Conscripts and Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Zealous Conscripts

Unlike most Zada decks, I've also included a couple big swingy creatures like Akroma, Angel of Fury so that if we do get shut down, there'll still be a glimmer of hope.

Insurrection is the "I win" card in this deck, as a plan C.

Right now, I'm considering adding better card advantage because I need to draw more cards immediately. There are a ton of options in red, so I'll see how this plays first.
