Some people seem to be under the impression that due to the lack of burn spells in BFZ, red is no longer the annoying threat it once used to be. Those people are horribly mistaken.

This deck utilizes fast low drops that swing for massive damage after you get Zada, Hedron Grinder on the field.

Turn One: Play Monastery Swiftspear and swing for one.

Turn Two: Play Dragon Whisperer. Swing with swiftspear for one again.

Turn Three: Play Temur Battle Rage + Titan's Strength on either creature. Swing for 12.

Turn Four: Play Zada, Hedron Grinder . Swing for three.

Turn Five: Play Sure Strike + Temur Battle Rage + Titan's Strength targeting Zada and swing for lethal and beyond.

Although Zada, Hedron Grinder is the primary wincon it is not necessary to win early on. Pyromancer's Goggles, Dragonmaster Outcast, Dragon Whisperer, Crater Elemental and even Temur Battle Rage + Titan's Strength can help out tremendously if you get into late game.

Wild Slash and Crater Elemental for removal, although baiting you opponent with a 1/1 and then juking them out with Sure Strike is also pretty effective.

Still needs a lot of tweaking here and there, so feedback is greatly appreciated.
