Deck overview

This deck is a mono-red storm and token swarm archetype commanded by Zada, Hedron Grinder. The game plan floods the battlefield with inexpensive Goblin tokens during the early turns, casts Zada, and targets her with cheap single-target cantrips and pump spells. Zada's ability duplicates each spell across every creature on your board, converting 1-mana cantrips like Crimson Wisps and Expedite into massive burst card draw. Mana engines like Storm-Kiln Artist, Battle Hymn, and Brightstone Ritual generate immense amounts of mana during the storm turn, allowing the deck to dig through its entire library. The deck closes the game in a single explosive turn via overwhelming combat damage from Fists of Flame and Haze of Rage, recurring burn triggers from Impact Tremors and General Kreat, the Boltbringer, or an infinite mana and storm loop with Storm-Kiln Artist and Haze of Rage.
