Deck overview

This mono-red aggro-combo deck leverages Zada, Hedron Grinder to turn inexpensive single-target cantrips and combat tricks into explosive table-wide effects. The early game focuses on deploying a wide board of cheap Goblin tokens and utility creatures using cards like Dragon Fodder, Young Pyromancer, and Rosnakht, Heir of Rohgahh. Once Zada enters the battlefield alongside several creatures, any single-target instant or sorcery targeting Zada copies for every other creature you control. A single one-mana spell such as Expedite or Ancestral Anger draws four to eight cards, rapidly chaining into powerful mana rituals like Battle Hymn and Brightstone Ritual. The deck then resolves devastating power-boosting spells like Fists of Flame and Temur Battle Rage, granting the entire army massive power, trample, and double strike to eliminate all three opponents in a single combat step on Turn 5. While explosive and mana-efficient, the deck runs almost no defensive interaction or stax pieces, making it an all-in proactive combo-aggro list.
