This is very stupid.

Starting from Fiery Gambit , this deck aims to use various synergies with Zada, Hedron Grinder , with a focus on dice rolls. It uses jank combos (and the power of absurd card draw) over consistency.

Each Expedite -type card becomes a Collective Unconscious with Zada out. Aleatory / Chaotic Strike feed Chance Encounter too. Reliquary Tower / Thought Vessel lets you keep all those cards.
Isochron Scepter lets you recast your favourite cantrip every turn.
Strionic Resonator can copy Zada's copy trigger. ( Pyromancer's Goggles doesn't, since the copy isn't cast.)
Young Pyromancer and Goblinslide make easy tokens to get extra spell copies. Heat Shimmer and Twinflame copy your board, and some of your creatures leave behind tokens to boot.

Skirk Fire Marshal and Chandra's Ignition are your board wipes. Otherworldly Outburst , Stuffy Doll and Mogg Maniac make them more convenient to use.

Win conditions

• Fiery Gambit can serve as a very flashy win condition, used with a large board + Krark's Thumb . It gets copied by Zada, and you can just force a failed coin flip if you care about a particular creature. You can either dig for particular cards and then choose the 6 damage option, or just get all the mana to fuel a large Fall of the Titans or Banefire .
  
• With the cards from mass cantrips, you can cast a bazillion of free spells with Kari Zev's Expertise , then finish off with a combination of Storm spells and/or Soul's Fire + pump. Look out for Young Pyromancer , Twinflame and Battle Hymn as Expertise targets.
  
• Chandra's Ignition / Arcbond are usually a nonbo with Zada because the first few ignitions kill all your creatures. But with Eldrazi Monument , they can cause ripple effects for incredible damage. Bonus points if Stuffy Doll / Mogg Maniac is out. Monument also lets your creatures survive Fiery Gambit .
  
• Chance Encounter can rack up its counters very quickly via Aleatory / Chaotic Strike / Fighting Chance / Fiery Gambit etc. If it's still around on your next turn, you've won.
• Whatever happens when you cast a late-game overloaded Mizzix's Mastery , if you don't mill yourself out with all the cantrips, you'll probably win.
