The #3 Noyan Dar deck on TappedOut!

 

In my ongoing endeavor to bring frugality to Commander, each card in this deck is under $2 and the whole deck is under $40. If you like what you see, UPVOTE! or you can check out all my other $40 budget decks. If you see some areas of improvement, let me know what you'd change. Just make sure all suggested cards are under $2.

The Strategy

1) Cast Noyan Dar, Roil Shaper

2) Keep mana open for protection (and because that's what blue does)

3) Cantrip your way to more cards, manlands and victory

The Win Cons

1) Manland army

2) Token army via Talrand, Sky Summoner / Docent of Perfection  

The Infinite Combos

Elite Arcanist + To Arms! / Triton Tactics / Unity of Purpose = infinite counters

Elite Arcanist + To Arms! / Unity of Purpose = infinite mana

Elite Arcanist + Triton Tactics + Azorius Chancery/Coral Atoll/Karoo/Temple of the False God = infinite mana
