Strategy
Magda, the Hoardmaster leads a deck built from the cards players most often run with it, pointing repeated damage at players. The list holds 19 ramp pieces, 10 pieces of targeted interaction, 2 board wipes and 9 sources of card draw, at an average mana value of 3.34.
Early: Use the early turns on mana and on the commander itself. Ganax, Astral Hunter and the other 18 ramp pieces are there to power what comes after Magda, the Hoardmaster, not to cast it - at 2 mana it should be on the table almost immediately.
Mid: Once the commander is down, the deck wants to be doing two things at once: advancing its own board and answering everyone else's. Goblin Fireslinger is the first answer you will usually reach for, and Scrabbling Claws keeps the hand full while you do it.
Late: Hold Blasphemous Act for the turn the table gets ahead of you - with 2 in the deck you can afford to use one early and still have an answer later. At 3.34 average mana value the top end is middling, which means most turns hold two spells.
Win conditions: Wins by pointing damage at players until they run out of life.
