Horde of Notions is a commander that sacrifices direction and power for versatility and resilience. I've seen a lot of Horde decks online and none seem to live up to their full potential. My build is NOT budget and has been built over the course of 2 years.

PLAYING

The deck features a removal package with many cards that are recurable in the late game with the commander. Evoke cards like Shriekmaw, Wispmare, Ingot Chewer, and Fulminator Mage all attack different card types and are almost as useful in the grave as they are in your hand. (Fulminator Mage lacks evoke but plays similarly.) Crib Swap is recurable as it's changeling ability will be detected by Horde from the grave. There is a goofy combo in the form of card:Blasphamous act + Vigor + creatures.

The deck also features a decent draw package. Mystic Remora, Rhystic Study, Kindred Discovery and Sylvan Library are probably the best draw spells in the deck as each has a high mana to card draw ration that grows as they stay on the board. There is a nasty combo that I like because it nearly warrants adding card:Labritory maniac to the deck. It comes in the form of Kindred Discovery + Tempt with Vengeance. DRAW ALL THE CARDS!!!!

Winning

the deck wins in a number of ways. Elemental Mastery + Sunstrike Legionnaire goes infinite. Elemental Mastery + Malignus + Goblin Bombardment or Purphoros, God of the Forge or Shared Animosity or Incandescent Soulstoke all put lethal on board. Tempt with Vengeance + Goblin Bombardment or Purphoros, God of the Forge or Shared Animosity or Incandescent Soulstoke are usually good enough aswell. Sometimes just having the commander in play and a Crib Swap in grave is enough to force a scoop in 1v1.
