Zada Storm by LA2WVU

Format: Commander

Commander: Zada, Hedron Grinder

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a high-risk, high-reward mono-red goblin/storm deck helmed by Zada, Hedron Grinder. The core plan is to deploy a wide board of cheap token creatures (goblins, elementals, thopters) and then chain single-target pump spells onto Zada - her ability copies each spell to every other creature you control, turning a modest cantrip like Expedite into a massive card-draw engine and a Temur Battle Rage into a one-sided Overrun. The deck snowballs by generating huge amounts of mana from rituals like Brightstone Ritual and Battle Hymn while drawing through its entire library in a single turn. Secondary win conditions include the infinite-goblin combo of Krenko, Mob Boss plus Skirk Prospector and persistent drain from Impact Tremors or Guttersnipe. The deck is fragile, heavily reliant on its commander, and lacks meaningful interaction - but when it goes off, it can eliminate the table out of nowhere.
