Been tinkering around with this deck for a couple of weeks now and have to say, it's surprisingly fun.

The basic strategy of the deck is to control the board as best you can while not making yourself a target. Eventually, you'll build up to a voltron-like land due to Noyan Dar's ability to swing at people for massive damage, and due to cards like Artful Dodge and View from Above your opponents won't even be able to block it. First-time opponents of this deck often tend to ignore it until its too late when they get hit for 30 damage off a flying Faerie Conclave.

An important thing to keep in mind while playing this deck is to not amass an army of land creatures without good reason because as it turns out, Blasphemous Act for 1 red or any boardwipe for that matter that kills like 5 lands is a really good trade-off for your opponents (learned that the hard way).

It is important that you either have a counterspell in hand at all times to stop your opponents who want to destroy your voltron land or to just have protection in the form of Terra Eternal, Equinox or even just animating something like Darksteel Citadel or Cascading Cataracts.

The decks also surprisingly cheap, all you really need for it is a basic control core along with some choice enchantments and lands. If you have the cards or even the money laying around, I highly suggest trying out Noyan Dar!
