Current Zada aggro list I'm working on. Alesha is currently subbing in for a 4th Mentor, since I only have the 3.
The goal of this deck to curve into Zada, then use her to turn cheap pump spells into instant speed anthem effects. Works especially well with Titan's Strength and Defiant Strike to multiply scrying and card draw effects.
Abbot and Outpost Siege also help keep up card advantage, since this deck tends to dump its hand pretty quick.
Feat of Resistance helps protect creatures while giving a permanent pump.
Temur Battle Rage is a game ending blowout when coupled with one or two other pump spells and Zada.
Gideon helps keep up targets for Zada to hit, plus he's a body when you want it.
I'm mostly looking for suggestions on sideboard, though if there are other options for the mainboard I've missed. I'm not sure what to prepare for meta-wise, so I've given myself options.
Erase helps deal with some of the enchantment decks I've seen running around
Radiant Flames is typically Pyroclasm in this deck, good for other aggro decks running small creatures. Also hits Eldrazi scions pretty well.
Exquisite Firecraft works as removal for small to mid-sized creatures, and doubles as reach against decks that can stop the last bit of damage going through on the ground.
Valorous Stance is mostly for removing larger threats, though it does also save creatures if needed, and isn't too bad of an effect with Zada out.
End Hostilities is exactly what it looks like. If I absolutely need a boardwipe, it's there.
Deflecting Palm is handy against some of the big Eldrazi decks I've seen. Can win a losing match in the right situation.
Smash to Smithereens is awesome against the thopter decks I've seen. The extra Lightning Strike is especially nice.
Center Soul is another protection spell to help get damage through. Rebound is a bit helpful, too, and helps get off a couple Mentor triggers. Not sure how much I like it, though. It seems like there's probably a better card in this slot, but I'm not sure what it is.
