Also it's been a while since I contributed here, but me and my friends play this at my local card store (people all over there are starting to make this deck), but we all play with 40 cards because it's even easier to build and actually a little more fun. I know this would be drastic, but perhaps for the sake of the format we should go to 40 cards?

Another noble deck, centered around life gain. The Noble Chalice

I believe I may have found a top-tier aggro strategy in Noble: Survival of the Noblest

It's got tons of fast creatures, a toolkit, disruption, and more. A lot of aggro decks can't deal with 4 Basking Rootwallas into 3 Arrogant Wurms, all with flying thanks to Wonder. Counterspells should deal with Storm decks. Wild Mongrel and company ensure the deck doesn't up and die to a Counterspell on the Noble, Survival of the Fittest.

I don't think Survival needs to be banned, but this shows the power of a card banned in Legacy. It feels like a rush.

vishnarg, it is fine to play it as a 40-card format with your friends, but being allowed to have 40-card decks would completely warp the tournament setting that we are trying to establish. Any turn 3 or 4 win, be it aggro or combo, would become far more consistent, until only a few decks could compete in the format. We want to create a format with as much diversity as possible, and having 60-card decks means that people must come up with strategies to survive until they can pull off a win, especially for combo decks since they will have to wait longer for their combo to show up, giving their opponent time to deal with it. In a 40-card setting, people would be winning before anyone could set up any kind of board position and certain combo's would most likely rise to the top of every tournament just because of their unbeatable consistency. Imagine a 40-card High Tide deck with a playset of Ponders and Preordains, it would go off by turn 3 every game.

Hey, check out my Noble deck: Noble Faeries

Am I late to the party with my Noble of Vaasgoth deck?

Noble Tide

wanted to do high tide in Noble =)

Cascading Slivers

This deck is hilariously fun to play.

My best noble yet, and wonderfully fun to play. deck:noble-glint-eye-nephilim

I made a new Noble deck Thunder Buddies for Life!

It's all about ramming into your enemy. Hard.

Yeah comment numbered 236 I cannot agree with more. 40 cards would be insane, and warp the format into something very un-fun.

Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni ninja tribal.

No 40 card decks are cool to play with. They don't warp anything they just make it more likely to draw ponders or preordains, and would make the goal a little more about speed. It was fine when I played it at my store...

Except when you have a combo deck and you are running a 2 card instant kill combo if one is your noble card and the other is in your deck you statistically Have a better chance to draw your combo piece. Take for example, bloodcrank, yes I know it's banned. However, if I have ascension as my noble and 4x mindcrank in my deck I now have a 1/4 chance as opposed to a 1/15 chance to draw my combo piece. This was what graft and kor apprentice were trying to avoid.

Just made Noble: Empty The Warrens which started off as a dragonstorm deck and evolved into a warrens deck. I know that combo is sort of frowned upon for this format, but it seems like such a powerhouse it's hard to avoid when constructing.

Made a Standard Noble playing single creatures, take a look. Single Attack Noble

Please comment my deck and see this new variant featuring only one creature! The Lone Noble

uhhh, according to the rules, couldn't your noble card also be an instant, sorcery, enchantment, artifact, or even land? That makes no sense. If this was just a mistake, please make an update or something saying so. Otherwise, I is very confused?

It's not a mistake, your noble card can be anything. The reason is because this is supposed to be a very friendly format where you always have access to your one rare. Also, it is a format that can be easily played/built into by a couple of booster packs.

@Ohthenoises oh, thanks. I was pretty confused about that. Thanks for clarifying

Well. I've been making a SHITLOAD of noble decks, and they could all use a little love, but my current experiment is this: Fumiko's Arsenal (Suggestions Welcome!)

I wanted to see if I could make a deck where the only creature is the noble. Could really use all the help I can get.

I just have a question about the Time Spiral "Timeshifted" cards. They all have a rarity of "Special". I was wondering what that would be considered as. Or if those are just not considered when looking at rarity. But if they aren't considered (due to 99% of them being printed elsewhere), that leaves out Arena . Arena was only printed in Time Spiral "Timeshifted" and as a book promo. So the only rarity it has is special. Would this card just be omitted from deck building as it doesn't have a normal rarity (common, uncommon, rare, or mythic rare)? I think there should be a specific ruling for Arena so that it could have a place in the format somewhere (even if it's on the banned list), instead of just being ignored.

As much as I will hate myself for this (i love artifacts), have you thought about Panoptic Mirror and any gain an extra turn cards?

Are there any gain an extra turn cards that are common or uncommon?

you could use Exhaustion , Mana Vapors or Misstep
