"A song of fire and wolves"

I think most of you know how the zada-silverfur works, but in case you don't, imagine what happend when you have Zada, Hedron Grinder/Mirrorwing Dragon and Silverfur Partisan on the battle field, then you cast a few instants on Zada who copies it for each creature you have, and Silverfur spawns that much tokens. You can easily get 50+ wolves with haste and various bonuses, in a single turn!

Some people try to tempo until they get the combo, others try to go aggro and finish with it. I'll simply try to get it as quickly as possible.

There is two choices from there: Duskwatch Recruiter or Eldritch Evolution, the two lowering the cost of the combo and tutoring it. The duskwatcher is less constent (digging the library 3 by 3 putting the instants we want on the bottom, and needing to be flipped to reduce the cost) but gives a body where Eldritch Evolution removes it. I've chosen to leave the recruiter.

We need some instants to trigger the combo:

-Blossoming Defense is the obivous choice as it can be used to protect Silverfur Partisan or Zada, Hedron Grinder/Mirrorwing Dragon before having the combo on the board.

-Expedite helps getting Silverfur Partisan or more instants if you have Zada, Hedron Grinder or Mirrorwing Dragon, it allows us to achieve an OTK giving haste to our the tokens.

-Rush of Adrenaline, the will switch with vine of the recluse when needed, helps trading while keeping wolves on the battlefield or trading with tokens. It gives trample to your army of tokens so they cant chumpblock.

Next we have more supportive creatures:

-Lambholt Pacifist   helps a lot giving the time to get the combo up, blocking all these 2/2 and 2/3. And because we are part of this wolfy cult, we need some virgins to sacrifice to our evil purposes (i'm speaking of Eldritch Evolution, not Ormendahl, Profane Prince   although he's not far away from this story as you'll see later).

-Spirit of the Hunt is an awsome combat trick: surprise blocker, more toughness for everyone. It can be used against removals too. And it's 3 mana costed, that means we can sacrifice it after use into Mirrorwing Dragon through Eldritch Evolution.

Some enchantments will help us:

-Howlpack Resurgence is important as it pumps Lambholt Pacifist   to a 4/4 and so allows her to attack. We'll obviously get advantage of it with any of our wolves too, it helps get positive trades (with the flash! Yay, surprise!) and gives trample.

-Oath of Nissa diggs the library for creature or lands as a 1 drop, eventually helps casting Chandra, Torch of Defiance if unluckiness somehow gets you color screwed.

And last but not least, Westvale Abbey  , in the worst case we can sacrifice 5 creatures into a flying blocker, which also happens to be one of the strongest attacker we could imagine. Don't expect to ever play it, but he's here just in case as it doesn't cost much to have a waste in our manabase, and it scares opponent a lot. I may get down to 1 if i feel that i too frequenty 1 more colored land on the battlefield

Sideboard explanation will be here quickly ;)

What do you think of it? I guess it's not well optimized, how can i make it better?Thanks :)
