Legendary Creature — Goblin Ally
Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell that targets only Zada, copy that spell for each other creature you control that the spell could target. Each copy targets a different one of those creatures.
“Copy spells onto your team for explosive red swarm wins.”
Zada turns your small red creatures into a spell-copying machine. The core idea is simple: cast a cheap instant or sorcery that targets Zada (like a pump spell or card draw), and it copies itself onto all your other creatures. This lets you turn a single spell into a devastating wave that pumps your whole team, draws you cards, or both. You win by going wide with tokens or creatures, then using a single targeted spell to pump everything and swing for lethal before your opponents can react.
The deck builds around cheap red spells—especially ones that draw cards, pump, or give evasion. Cards like "Temur Battle Rage" or "Brute Force" do double or triple duty: they pump Zada and get copied to your whole team. You'll pack the deck with token generators and cheap creatures so you have a wide board to amplify. Since Zada only works with spells that target her specifically, you're avoided board wipes and working at instant speed to catch opponents off guard.

Skip pricey pump spells—Titan's Strength, Rogue's Passage, and other cheap commons from bulk bins do the job. Use tokens generators like Goblin Rabblemaster or Hordeling Outburst over expensive tutors.
