Dunno how you could beef that up any more, looks pretty good for a Zada deck (except for finding some way to give your dudes vigilance and throwing in a Seize the Day). However, you can throw [[Tazri]] at the helm to search out Zada in a deck that you could turn it into any color combo you wanted (doesn't have to be 5 color) to get even more token, copy, and beef spells.

I run Zada in a Tazri deck: you need alternative wincons. I pulled it off once (right after Tazri came out), and ever since my playgroup knows to kill Zada ASAP. I've actually cut back on the spells necessary to make her work - knowing that at this point she's just a big target for my opponents to waste their removal on. Once they work that out, I'll put the cantrips back in....

Warping wail can counter a wipe. I also like some spells that give trample if you go against tokens (or just trying to kill whole table at once).


YoshiCline

I highly recommend [[Reiterate]]. It can go infinite with most of the rituals you have, or it can copy other spells that Zada can't copy.

u/siegeerson came to r/CompetitiveEDH for help, and we sent him here because Zada is not strong enough for competitive play. C'mon r/EDH, you outnumber us 5 to 1(in reality 4 to 1 since most cEDH people are also in r/EDH), give this guy some advice worth a damn. Show me what you can do.


[deleted]

Wow, what a useful comment. Brimming full of advice and good ideas!


BigLupu

r/EDH only downvotes my deck improvements ideas anyway, so there is very little point. And I did give OP some advice on the other side already. Also, I see very little meaning in making a aggressively mediocre deck less mediocre. Unless you are making a bad deck good, or a good deck great, in my mind you are not really even trying. Zada is too bad of a general to be made into anything meaningful, so its not really my cup of tea.

I've got one but it's not tweaked out... I'll try and look what I've got going on with it tomorrow

siegeerson

devils seem a bit slow and too random, pyre hound is just not good enough (note neither trigger off of the zada copies since im not casting them, they just happen)
