Deck overview

This deck is a mono-red combo-aggro list built around Zada, Hedron Grinder. The game plan revolves around assembling a wide board of cheap Goblin tokens during the early turns, casting Zada, and targeting her with inexpensive cantrips like Expedite and Crimson Wisps. Zada's ability copies these single-target spells for every other creature you control, instantly turning one-mana spells into massive card-draw bursts of five or more cards. Once the engine starts, the deck converts high creature counts into substantial mana using rituals such as Battle Hymn and Brightstone Ritual, or via Storm-Kiln Artist. This mana fuels lethal combat finishers like Fists of Flame and Temur Battle Rage, enabling the deck to eliminate all three opponents in a single explosive combat step. If combat is restricted, burn engines such as Impact Tremors and Goblin Bombardment provide alternative lethal reach, while Krenko, Mob Boss offers strong independent token generation.
