Just a quick note, and a big thanks to Saint Jahn for pointing this out to me! With Zada's ability, Soul's Fire actually will only let you target one of your creatures and not the entire team. You can still use this to have one of your pumped up creates deal a lot of damage to one target. I have updated the deck to include Run Amok, which will be very effective in the deck! Apologies for missing this interaction, and a big thanks again to Saint Jahn!

Good question! Zara’s ability only works if the spell targets only Zada. Since Soul’s Fire would require that we target Zada and our opponent or another creature, it wouldn’t work

So I was looking at the card [Seize the Day] in this deck, and I noticed something. Yes, this card gives you an extra combat step for each creature you control, but it only untaps all your creatures just the once. I was thinking you might want to add [Angel's Trumpet] to the deck for the vigilance. This would allow for a MASSIVELY explosive turn - play the trumpet, play Seize the Day, and go off! [Oketra's Monument] and [Hovermyr] are two other interesting vigilance ideas for this deck.

While I have been testing this I usually keep zada out of the fight unless I am forced to attack with her or if it would be beneficial to do so. I can't seem to overcome the additional mana costs if zada ends up in the command zone again. When zada is sent to the command zone I need her back to do the mass combos and usually if I have to pay the extra two mana I am left with few options.

Also, Treasonous Ogre should definitely be in here. He's literally won me games on turn 2 before. Another card I love in Zada is Aetherflux Resovoir. The card is just bonkers.

I will say this though, at 14:59 you recommend Inner Fire as a way Zada can push damage through, but sadly because it targets 2 things (a creature and a player), Zada won't copy it for each creature you control. For this sort of effect, I'd recommend Arcbond (and uh, find a way to give a creature lifelink, perhaps basilisk collar). Chandra's Ignition is also sweet. If the spell targets Zada, but says "each ______" or "you _______", it's fair game!

I ran this deck for a while. There are about 20 red cantrips that you can target Zada with, and they're all worth running. But the best card for this deck is Fiery Gambit. With so many creatures on the board you're practically guaranteed to get the "two coin flips" ability at least a couple of times, and if you go all out it's not hard to get the "three coin flips" ability once or twice depending on the number of creatures you have. Every time I was able to cast that card it ended the game.

Okay, I bought this deck out of my reluctance to believe that mono red could be as effective as you made this deck sound. I've only been able to do a few minor tweaks and alterations to the deck so far(hope you don't mind, I had to make the deck my own lol), but I took this deck to magic night with my group recently and I made 6 people SIMULTANEOUSLY scoop because I had drawn half my deck in one turn and was STILL drawing cards and getting mana to drop more cards. It felt like I was playing mono blue or SIMIC colors! Everybody told me to keep going even after they scooped just because they couldn't believe what they were seeing, and wanted to find out just how far I could go...it was NUTS. Way back in my novice beginner days, I played mono red and quickly dropped it cause every game would be the same; I'd start out strong but burn out REAL fast and not be able to hold on and rebuild after. I felt like the creatures were weaker compared to the other colors, so I switched to green. Later I'd flirt with red by using it as a secondary to another colors (Gruul, Izzet etc), but it would never be as anything more than utility. After seeing this commander and playing this deck, I maaay have to admit that I must have just been doing something wrong, because I've never felt like MORE of a magic player than when I was popping off with this deck. In short...I think you've turned me into a red player again, so yeah...keep it up. *Thumbs up* LOL!

Weird but crazy effective synergy I found is traitorous greed. You can target zada because of the way it’s worded and it would effectively untap and give haste to all your creatures but also gives you 2 mana of any color for each creature as well

ok so first thing. Im new to the channel and I like it. Props for explaining what each card does, because I'm usually just listening and it helps a lot. second thing has probably been mentioned by someone else, but using combat celebrant you can activate krenko twice. Considering you had the cards right next to each other, i found it odd that you wouldn't mention this.Anyway gj.

Thank you for this deck tech. Definitely going to build this deck. Just found Fists of Flame also. Drawing a card for each creature you control and providing an increasingly massive attack boost on each of them at instant speed for 1R sounds pretty good; if you have drawn one card from your draw step already and you control Zada and four other creatures, you'll draw four cards and pump your team for a total of 2+3+4+5+6=20 damage. Gets even more disgusting if you've already cast say an Accelerate on the team. Think I''ll swap it for e.g. Telim Tor's Edict.

Hey Mitch, great work as always! Maybe a unusual question: My girlfriend an I are really into commander (just kitchen table/casual). My girlfriend's birthday is coming up in about a month and I was thinking about making a deck for her. This idea came up, when I saw Lena, Selfless Champion (her name is also Lena), however I have never built a commander deck on my own (we just use the precons) and I feel pretty lost. Can you give me some tips for cards or do maybe even a deck tech video for this commander?
@Jak3am6 жыл бұрын
what kind of budget are you looking at? the easiest way i can see it work is a bunch of small hate bears with some minor flicker/reanimator/anthems sub themes

Budget (and power level) should be about equal to the precons
@TheCommandersQuarters6 жыл бұрын
That's a great idea for a birthday gift! I actually already have the next episodes planned out, but I can definitely give some thoughts on how I would go about trying to build her. So if you are just starting to build commander decks on your own I would recommend looking at EDHREC as a starting point. Unfortunately Lena only has 5 decks built on there so it's not a lot to go off of but it's definitely a place to start! Also, just look around at other TappedOut lists, I am sure there are a few around there. Scryfall is my favorite place to find cards, it's a very powerful card search engine! I actually haven't ever built with Lena, but off the top of my head I would probably look for cards that can flicker her and other creatures you control to create more creatures. So things like Eerie Interlude, Flickerwisp, and Felidar Guardian to flicker. And then creatures like Attended Knight and Captain of the Watch to create creature tokens. High value things like Rootborn Defenses and Oketra's Monument would probably be good too! Hope that helps you with a place to start!

I play the deck a lot. Most of the time i don't win with attacking, becaus the boardstate don't alow it in my local meta. I use then to win Chandra's Ignition or Soul's Fire to deal direct the damage. Add Past in Flames
@TheCommandersQuarters6 жыл бұрын
Unfortunately Chandra's Ignition and Soul's Fire don't actually work with Zada. Soul's doesn't work because of targeting and Chandra's will end up killing all of your creatures with just one of the copies, and the others will fizzle.

One card I would recommend for upgrade section is Past in Flames maybe even instead of ruby medallion. 80% I cast that card I won the game on that turn or next and sometimes it can help you get back from boardwipes because of all the spells that gives tokens. Btw just found out about channel recently and it has amazing content!

This is super similar to my list but i feel you missed a huge piecr of this dexk by not including Chandras Ignition. It can kill an entire board of creatures and opponents if you have a few buffed creatures and Zada out. I have dealt over 5.5k damage with it before. Also Izzet Chemister is an all star if you can play him then Karizev it gives you an instant recursion
@TheCommandersQuarters6 жыл бұрын
So actually someone else recommended Chandra's Ignition, and then actually corrected themselves because unfortunately it doesn't work in the way intended. Once you cast it and it targets all of your creatures, those copies go on the stack. Once the first one goes off, it's probably going to kill your entire board which will fizzle all of the other spells on the stack since they won't have any targets. At least that's the way it was explained to me. Izzet Chemister is definitely an interesting consideration! Just wish he didn't have to tap with his first ability.
@ruperthaynes27236 жыл бұрын
@@TheCommandersQuarters hmm yes i see what your saying. Im notnsure of the interaction and how the copies stack and resolve. Zadas ability triggers on cast so before Ignition resolves the copys have to be made and target. But on resolution now youve said that im guessing the first ignition if it destroys the other creatures the rest fizzle.

Non-Budget Adds: I would suggest putting in Eldrazi Monument ($8) to beef up your creatures & pave the way for Chandra's Ignition ($0.50) as an explosive finisher if you can't punch through for the kill. It's a 3RR Sorcery: "Target creature you control deals damage equal to its power to each other creature and each opponent." Target Zada with Chandra's Ignition while your creatures are indestructible & prepare to drink those delectable tears. Example: Zada + 7 1/1 goblins or thopters with the Monument in play. Attack (the life gain deck at the table) & get some damage in. On second main cast Chandra's Ignition targeting Zada. All creatures together end up dealing 18 damage to each other creature & opponent by themselves without pumping them. If you pump them at all (Giant's Strength: +3/+1) congrats. You just won by dealing 42 total damage to all other creatures & opponents for 6 mana.

Yep, just thought the same thing. I would need two, one each for my Krenko and Zada deck. But damn too expensive. A very budget alternative is Helm of Awakening. It makes every spell cost 1 less colorless mana, but that also counts for your opponents. But I can narrow down on which turn I could probably explode, I play it the Helm at the right turn and then win the game.
