Commander Choice
I chose these commanders for specific reasons. Firstly, they are exactly the colors I wanted. Blue and red both have several decent pingers while green has several creatures that benefit from taking damage, such as Fungusaur and Polyraptor . Additionally, Ludevic, Necro-Alchemist allows us to capitalize on pinging our opponents by drawing us a card at the end of our turn. We also have the potential to draw a few cards every turn with this deck, so Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix could net us a decent amount of ramp.

Strategy
The strategy is fairly simple: pingers will allow us to draw a bunch of cards off of abilities such as Ophidian Eye and Curiosity . They will also allow us to safely damage our own creatures that benefit from getting hurt, such as Fungusaur , Polyraptor , Fungus Sliver , Hornet Nest , etc... Finally, we can suit our pingers up with deathtouch to clear the way for some of these bigger creatures and swing in for the win (bonus points if you give Goblin Sharpshooter deathtouch and clear out all of your opponents creatures in a single turn).

Let me know if you have any suggestions for the deck, I'd be glad to hear any and all feedback!
Happy pinging!
