Zada, Hedron Grinder looks like it has the potential of a really fun token swarm commander. Here is my working deck list, hoping to get some ideas and suggestion from the community.
I love the addition of Sphinx-Bone Wand and Commune with Lava here. Though I'm concerned you may not have enough mana to both hit a critical mass of cards off of the top and be able to cast them. Galvanoth seems like it could find a home here. I especially like the blow out that is Seize the Day that should just end games when that hits.
What is your reasoning behind Thopter Assembly and Myr Battlesphere. Both seem slow to me and the Battlesphere feels like it hinders you more then anything since it taps 4 creatures to get the most out of it. I would much rather play Hangarback Walker.

thanks for the suggestions. I am still trying to playtest and wanted to find the critical mass of token generators vs pump spells for Zada. Thopter Assembly and Myr Battlesphere are just good token generators.
Sphinx bone wand won't do anything, unfortunately, with a zada out. it will trigger off cards you cast, but not much else. You'll end up puking a lot of tokens eventually, so maybe battle hymn or brightstone ritual if enough are goblins? Quite a few sorceries, maybe a recoup? I know you already have past in flames, but well, more can't hurt! Since you don't recur a lot of creatures, maybe skittering invasion is better than one of your battlesphere or similar? It also doubles as a ritual or similar if it needs to.
