Zada EDH Deck. Get tokens out, copy any card that says "draw a card" and win the game in one or two explosive turns. Has proven more consistent than it should be, but learning when to mulligan is a huge part of this deck. You need tokens in your opening hand, and then either a piece of card draw, a looting card or Gamble. Mulligan aggressively.

Recently took out Dualcaster Mage because I don't like two card infinite combos (Heat Shimmer and Twinflame), but if you're looking to be as competitive as possible, put in the mage. One of my favorite things about this deck is having a bunch of jank in your hand and realizing there may be a way to piece together a win. Lots of cards combo that you wouldn't think about normally. The Dualcaster combos take away some of that fun for me.

The categories are pretty self explanatory, but I'll do a quick explanation of the Misc category cards.

Goblin Chieftain and Goblin Warchief are honestly on the chopping block. Haste is occasionally needed to win, and these both do a little more than just haste, but I might throw in some D-list cantrips for consistency. These guys and Krenko, Mob Boss have won me games though.

Goblin Dark-Dwellers

Really nice when the game goes later than planned when you've gone through a lot of your deck. Usually it's a win-fast deck, but it's nice to be able to come back and get some more buff/card draw.

Otherworldly Outburst

I love this card so much. The dumbest form of board wipe protection, and a very very silly combo with Goblin Bombardment. Board wipes are one of the things that mess up Zada the most, so I always leave one mana open when I have this in my hand.

Pyromancer's Goggles

Double card draws, double buffs, double tokens... double Gamble in desperate scenarios. At the high end of mana cost for this deck, but has proven itself many times even though it doesn't quite fit in any category.

Reliquary Tower

We're mono colored. We like drawing cards. Discarding isn't the end of the world, but why discard if you don't have to?
