I read through the thread (in one go so some things might not have stuck in my head). Have any of you tried Pyromancer's Goggles and Chandra's Ignition? Seems like good includes or are they too heavy on the mana to set them up?
Also I don't see Isochron Scepter in any of your lists, that card looks like it does everything we want.
Pyromancer's Goggles is very expensive for 5 mana. This is an issue because the nature of the deck requires casting a ton of spells in one turn. If we are trying to cast a bunch of spells in one turn, Goggles will really only get one activation. For 5 mana, that isn't really worth it. Isochron Scepter has similar issues- the fact that 90% of the time if we are targeting Zada we are winning the game on the spot doesn't leave much time to "get value" out of Goggles or Scepter, which means they would almost certainly be better served as different cards.
That being said, if you are playing a less combo-oriented version of Zada, then these would fit perfectly, because then they would actually have time to get value.
In regards to Otherworldly Outburst, Make Mischief, and Spawning Breath, I have found that the deck can be sped up immensely by the inclusion of cheap draw spells to allow you to hit your more powerful cards, rather then the listed powerful but situational cards. I have been much better served running Magmatic Insight and Faithless Looting rather than have cards that rely on other cards (namely toughness boosters and bad goblin lords in a deck with a medium to little amount of goblins). If this becomes a primer, then people are going to expect the optimal version of Zada, not the most fun. It is my fervent belief that eschewing the above cards will increase the power level of the deck. While they are fun, and can be very good, the overall power level and consistency of the deck goes up without them.
EDIT:
The issue with Chandra's Ignition is that you target Zada and have one of your Chandra's Ingition's resolve, which happens to murder all your derpy tokens, which makes all the rest of the copies of Chandra's Ignition fizzle.
Having tested in Ib in an all out combo version of the deck, I can tell you that he us what some decks want. Ib can be the best token generator in the deck if you let him. The increased creature count makes up for the loss of land, as regrettable as that is with Fiery Gambit.
Pretty slow and heavy costed, it's a big investment that allows your opponents to take advantage of it before you, which could be dangerous. The advantage of Helm of Awakening is that it is not a dead card while going off, and often can be laid the turn you go off to prevent opponents form taking advantage of it.
If we are already drawing that many cards to consistently hit our 8 creatures that enter the battlefield for effects, then we probably don't need to copy our creatures is all that means.
Fiery Gambit is one of the best cards in the deck. Path of Anger's Flame is nuts too. If you are looking for other cards to cut, cut the slow cantrips for the fast mana instead. That will increase the speed.
