This is a Jeskai black deck looking to combine Monastery Mentor + Zada, Hedron Grinder

Yes I have been told that Zada, Hedron Grinder isn't good in standard, but he seems perfect for a Monastery Mentorstrategy, He even works if Monastery Mentor isn't on the battlefield. He allows, depending on the situation, Defiant Strike to become a white Ancestral Recall

Yes Zada, Hedron Grinder is week to removal, but I don't care. The point isn't to make this deck the best deck in standard but to make it work if possible.

I am unsure whether to include a fourth copy of Painful Truths or a third Treasure Cruise in the sideboard.

Any helpful comments are welcome, and thanks for working with me on this. Thank you!
