Commander Quest - The ULTIMATE Guide to Zada, Hedron Grinder!

Zada hedron grinder can be built in many different ways, with many different commandersa and many different archetypes- in this video I discuss the different archetypes and commanders for zada, and the advantages and disadvantages of them.
It’s a bit hard to communicate that with a title/ thumbnail, but I did my best!

Mirrorwing dragon is also very similar and builds with magda or tiamat can work to search it out, I overlooked this when writing the script since I was focused on zada, I don’t think these are particularly powerful commanders, but it’s worth considering
I originally wrote and edited this video with the intent of covering splice into arcane as an archetype choice, but it’s really just a trap so I decided to mostly cut it out- if there are illogical sentences or I left it in by accident, that’s why.
Also I think I made the sfx a bit loud on this one, oops.
