How this commander wants to play

Magda, the Hoardmaster turns crime into treasure—literally. Your goal is to target opponents and their stuff as often as possible, generating Treasure tokens that fuel a steady stream of 4/4 flying Scorpion Dragons. This is a flexible midrange deck that doesn't need fancy combos; you're just playing normal Red cards that interact with opponents while building a board of tokens.

The deck leans into effects that naturally commit crimes: targeted removal (bolt effects, disenchants), hand disruption (Duress, Thoughtseize), graveyard interaction, and anything that pings or damages opponents. Each crime triggers Magda once per turn, so consistency matters more than raw efficiency. You'll stockpile Treasures early-to-mid game, then convert them into a wave of Dragons that close out games through flying damage. The beauty is that your interaction spells do double duty—they protect you while advancing your token strategy.

Same gameplan, less money

Skip expensive removal like Berserk or original duals; use efficient commons like Lightning Bolt, Unholy Heat, and budget lands like Mountain and Evolving Wilds instead.
