Typical Mono Red burn deck built around Zada, Hedron Grinder. I decided to build the deck after I pulled a foil Zada from my first m25 pack.

The point of the deck is to overload the field quickly with small creatures and token to be able to get the maximum out of Zada's triggered ability when we first cast it.

First' let's talk anout the deck's win conditions. We have the classic goblin bombardement for easy ping directly in your opponent's face, same for Aetherflux Reservoir or you have more out of the blue tricky win con with cards like Firestorm which your opponents never really see coming as they expect you to play all the cards in your hand with those mana from the rituals. Second, let's talk about the deck's weaknesses. It's weak to quick board wipes like Languish and early control. Also, you kinda want your commander on the field to get the maximum efficiency out of the deck so if Zada keeps getting countered or removed it's bye-bye, unless you have one of the alternate commmanders of this deck on the field. I'm talking about Purphoros, God of the Forge and Krenko, Mob Boss as alternate commanders as they synergize just too well with the deck in general so if I have either of those and not Zada, Hedron Grinder I can manage pretty good?

There's a couple other cards that synerhize just too well with Zada in the deck, particularly the 1 cmc single target instant/sorceries that give haste/become red/can't block + DRAW 1 FOR EACH CREATURE YOU CONTROL. The deck gives a huge card advantage really quickly while damaging everyone except from you with cards like Impact Tremors. Another really fun synergy is to splice Desperate Ritual into Blazing Shoal to get RRR for every creature you control, and then a little extra Comet Storm to do an insane amount of surprising damage.

Also, I decided to include an infinite loop in the deck because it fits just too well in the deck to make infinite copies of Dualcaster Mage by stacking it on Twinflame or Heat Shimmer.

Suggestions are always appreciated!
