The noble card never returns to the commander zone. Once played it is treated like any other card, going to the graveyard after being cast if instant or sorcery, or after being destroyed if a permanent.
So you would hae no reason to have a tax as it can never return.

I radically changed my UG deck into Overbeing in name only and added a new deck, Speedpost.

It seems to me like the Noble format has died out. There is too much room for hyper aggressive combo decks in the format, and unless you are willing to drop $320 for 4 force of wills and have them take up all your uncommon slots, there is no reason to play this in any kind of competitive setting because you are going to die by turn 2.

I disagree. In my community we have a lot of noble players and the number is growing. If you put creativity into decks and use cards that have fallen out of the public eye you can build decks that are cheap and still get the job done. One of the most competitive decks I use is only $30, and most are only around $20. I admit you can make (expensive) hyper aggressive decks that win in the first few turns but that is true in most formats. At its heart this format is about flavorful and inexpensive decks and it's still very much alive.

I really have to disagree as well, I've found that even Mill can be viable. In fact Noble Archivist, my own mill project, has proven to be quite a good deck.

For the War! and My Glyph Brings All the Beasts to the Yard are my most recent nobles decks!
Currently tweaking Xathrid Smashing. Not used to Golgari colors :P

FYI, i like the website (especially the way it shows decks), although why is there a picture of somebody with a cat (it is really cute though...)?

@blackbaki: Make up a deck and show it ;) I made one in which I use it 4 times and it isn't that broken... it's good, but not too good. Look: Mean Squad

I herd u liek set reviews, so I wrote a Noble-centric set review for Gatecrash. Here it is! http://www.noblemtg.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1467
Go read it instead of doing work or school or whatever. Be a slacker. Peer pressure! There's also a contest in there for those who read carefully. I'd like to make this a recurring column for each new set, so your feedback is important to me. Enjoy!

Also should Goblin Charbelcher be banned? its pretty much game ending and if you have it as the noble it can be used in pretty much any low mana goblin deck then suddenly game

2 more Nobles: Majestic Soul Stealing Swans and Shattering Dreams
And my entry to graft's magical and mysterious contest: Raise an Army, Win a War!
Awesome job on the review btw! Looks great, reads great! Perhaps you could include more combos that can be created with cards from previous sets (like the one on Hold the Gates) those are fun to read.

I've updated my noble deck Tezzeret's a Jerk (Noble)
Seems a lot more playable now. I'm always open for opinions. Also if anyone has any ideas for Time Sieve or Master Transmuter
February 16, 2013 2:41 a.m.
For Time Sieve first things that come to mind are: Disciple of the Vault , Myr Servitor , Myr Sire , Myr Retriever , Genesis Chamber , and Skeleton Shard . I dabbled with an artifact reanimate deck awhile back! Also Thopter Assembly works beautifully but it is rare.

My latest idea, based on grafts gift...The Noblemans Choice of Arms

Yeah, I have a regular deck with Time Sieve and Thopter Assembly, was just wondering if it would be doable in Noble. Myr Servitor seems to be exactly what I as looking for. Thanks Rahienn

Right now I'm building a monoblue ninja deck, and a monowhite samurai deck in this format out of the old kamigawa cards I wasn't using. I'll be sure to upload the decklists here once I'm finished!
Once these decks are finished, I intend them to work like duel decks so I can introduce more people to this format.
Noblemen: Takeno, Samurai General and Higure, the Still Wind
A lot of the guys in my meta are of the "I would love to build a commander deck, but I just don't have the cash..." so I think this format is perfect for us. Thank you!

I have a question;
When you cast your Noble card from the Command Zone, does it cost more to cast it subsequent times, as with the Commander format?
