You don't call "dying to removal" if the removal is more expensive in resources than the creature. If you have to spend BG (Abrupt Decay), or W + basic land (PtE) to remove a 1G, that is not "dying to removal". Strictly speaking Goyf dies to removal, but actually your removal is dying to Goyf.
Strionic Resonator can copy Zada's triggered effect, creating double-copied spells on all your creatures.
Blazing Shoal and Overblaze are pretty nifty alpha-striking effect. If you want even more shenanigans, splice Desperate Ritual onto either of them and get RRR for every creature you control.

I'm pretty sure you need Eldrazi Monument in order for Chandra's Ignition to actually work with Zada, since the copied Ignitions will fizzle once their targets are dead, which will happen in short order because the first one or two resolved Ignitions will kill them all.
I don't think anything in mono-red besides the Monument can protect your creatures from the damage.

I'm actually running Ignition as a board wipe that leaves me with a creature, though the interaction with Monument is actually pretty damn funny. I will consider it (and it is sweet in token builds anyway).

10 mana is not outside the realm of possibility if Battle Hymn is available and online. Lack of consistent tutors does make that a closet case. That said, Soul is a good option for the deck.

If you are going to run Chandra's Ignition, you might as well run Blightsteel Colossus for wombo-combo kill. That would also need you to add Gamble to try and get to the other piece.
You should probably play Gamble in this deck anyway, simply because it's an excellent card. I personally am not a fan of the Blightsteel Colossus kill and don't think it's necessary, particularly since the deck has no other use for it.
@Teysa_Karlov: is there any particular reason you're playing Telim'Tor's Edict over Aleatory or Panic? Neither are great, but at least they don't wrath your board. Also, no Balduvian Rage?
This is Mono-Red, so anything to generate card advantage is a plus.

How can we improve, and make this a goofy and fun, yet competitive deck?
"I hope to have such a death... lying in triumph atop the broken bodies of those who slew me..."
Strionic Resonator can copy Zada's triggered effect, creating double-copied spells on all your creatures.
Blazing Shoal and Overblaze are pretty nifty alpha-striking effect. If you want even more shenanigans, splice Desperate Ritual onto either of them and get RRR for every creature you control.
Also, Eldrazi Monument is useful with Chandra's Ignition.
Resonator and Shoal will definitely find a way into the list. Siege-Gang will as well. I like the resonator tricks.
"I hope to have such a death... lying in triumph atop the broken bodies of those who slew me..."
Correct, but it can function as a second option if Zada has been killed too many times for comfort.
"I hope to have such a death... lying in triumph atop the broken bodies of those who slew me..."
OUT: 2 Mountains, Flameshadow Conjuring, Empty the Warrens, Blasphemous Act.

And the red God Purphoros?
I run these cards in My Norin deck but I just run every Good(Card I feel is very good) red card I can in it.
Brute Force / Seething Anger can be nice as well.
Screaming Fury as a blow out card.
Sure Strike / Slaughter Cry/Fit of rage are boosters with the nice bonus of First Strike.
Titan's Strength yet another boosting spell but with Scry tied in.
Commando Raid and Tail Slash can wipe a decent amount of creatures without harming yours, especially potent with the above boosting spells.
I also found Forge Armor which can make for a nice permanent boost to your tokens depending on what you sacrifice.
From looking into this Zada could make a fun budget commander as well since these are mostly commons.
You cannot outrun the beast within.
