I would suggest Inkmoth Nexus and Darksteel Citadel

i see we have similar lists, i have worked on the list since the card was spoiled but only sleeved it recently. so far how do you like it? my list is similar to your here check it out Roiling Down the Street....... you got a plus 1 from me.

flluid: I'm not sure how exactly I forgot Darksteel Citadel but that definitely must go in.. I'm a little leary of putting in Inkmoth Nexus, just because I think infect breaks Commander a bit, but I certainly did think about it.. Thanks for the suggestions.

Ihazadeck thank you for the +1, I will check out your list. I just sleeved mine up and played it yesterday for the first time yesterday. It was a hoot to play... Strong, but not broken. I can already tell it will be a favourite to play for a while.

Didn't even look at the list..... +1 for name and awesome commander

+1 for the name! LOL Neat deck.

Thanks PenguinTaskForce. Please do look at the list if you get a chance though, I value suggestions.

Thanks to you too darleen

I would consider adding Fabricate so you can tutor for Darksteel Citadel.

Good Idea. I'll see if I can fit Fabricate in.

You ever thought about adding some +1/+1 counter shenanigans in there? Like Abzan Battle Priest (bad example).

Cauldron of Souls is nice for this deck because you'll get your lands back with two +1/+1 counters on them still so when you noyan them again they can be 5/5s

Also, you can generate infinite colored mana if you have an Extraplanar Lens or something similar and an island enchanted with Freed from the Real or Pemmin's Aura.

Since the lands are also colorless, you could do something there too.

You can also ramp with Intruder Alarm, Reveille Squad, Faces of the Past. It might be a good idea to sneak vigilance on all your creatures in because they're all essentially mana dorks.

I like NewHorizons's suggestion of Abzan Battle Priest but I think Abzan Falconer would be better. Giving all your creatures with counters Flying can be a huge blow out late game.

Your deck has some great enchantments to protect your Awakened lands, I suggest adding some tutors to help you get them into your hand: Plea for Guidance, Academy Rector, Enlightened Tutor, Idyllic Tutor or maybe Lost Auramancers. You could probably fit a couple enchantment tutors by remove other weaker draw spells in the deck like Slight of Hand or Ponder. Halimar Depths could replace Ponder. Steelshaper's Gift will help you get too Sword of the Animist. If your deck can produce enough mana, maybe Planar Portal or Ring of Three Wishes. Or you could add in some cards with Transmute to tutor for any card with an equal CMC (search "transmute" on Gatherer).

Inexorable Tide, Land Tax, Archaeomancer, Hanna, Ship's Navigator or Weathered Wayfarer would be a good addition to this deck as well.

Faerie Conclave and Blinkmoth Nexus both have evasion. Myriad Landscape helps you get more lands on the board.

your commander is BLUE AND NERDY+1 for name

In my Noyan build View from Above is easily one of my top/favorite cards, I'd highly recommend it.

Pal00ka Thanks, I have never seen View from Above before. I will seriously consider it.

darleen Wow those are a lot of suggestions. I do agree that some tutors are worth adding. I plan on doing that for sure. Some of the other cards might make it in too, but honestly, it's so hard to add that many cards and know what to cut. I'll play around with your suggestions bit by bit so as to see what adds the most benefit without diluting the deck's focus. Ideally, I want to add as many Cantrips or cards that draw me more cards as I can. Ending up with an empty hand is pretty crappy.

Please keep the +1s and suggestions coming! :-)

Fuck, I had no idea that there were no many old cards that fit in with Awakening. Darksteel Garrison? Had no idea it wasn't a bad card. Teferi's Response? Got to protect Teferi's Isle of course. Excellent deck. Looks really cool.

illumfolly To be honest, I didn't at first either... Not all of them at least... It's truly amazing what you can find on gatherer when you start looking :)

Thanks for the compliment and the +1

I really enjoy your decklist. There are a lot of cards I will be looking to take from yours to add to mine. The deck I have posted was my first draft. I've made lots of changes that I haven't updated yet!

A few cards I've found extremely useful are Isochron Scepter for abusing some of your cheap spells, especially early game. Putting a tutor on it is really nice. Talrand, Sky Summoner is awesome for helping go wide while you beef up one or two lands.

Thespian's Stage can become another Darksteel Citadel.

Land Tax for getting more lands in hand. If you already have lots of lands, that can help you use Trade Routes for draw and you can always return them with Crucible of Worlds or Planar Birth.

Mystic Confluence is another one that I'm excited to try out.

Talent of the Telepath gives you up to three triggers.

Your decklist is definitely more solid than mine at present, but those were some of my strong points I thought you might like to examine. Hope they help!

I suggest Tamiyo, the Moon Sage here, as she fits in well with most instant/sorcery decks in my experience (she makes me the target of everyone at the table whenever I activate her ultimate in my Noyan Dar deck), and allows you to disrupt your opponents and draw cards from them.

+1 from meeeeeeeeeee

Been busy the last few days. Thank you everyone for the suggestions.

I just added a bunch of cards to the Maybeboard that exploit the Flashback mechanic and others that are cantrips or ways to draw cards. I'm thinking that Flashback would be a great tool to exploit if possible. Anyone have thoughts on any of these spells?

Besides those cards being good, and besides flashback being a good mechanic, is there some hidden synergy? Not really?

The longer the game, the more UW control shells benefit. Flashback is a great way to take advantage of a long running game, especially since UW misses G's pure recycle effects, but needs spells from the grave all the same.

Might even want some forecast cards, yolo

Maybe you really want to make this a talrand deck and add in a Proteus Staff that you can aim at lands to turn them into Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre or Tidespout Tyrant

I run Eye of the Storm in my Noyan Dar EDH. Each spell that is cast off of it triggers Noyan, and depending on what gets put on it, the Eye can get really silly really quick.

The meta of the deck might work well with Myth Realized. It doesn't do anything for your Awakened land synergy but it definitely plays nicely with all the instants and sorceries.

darleen Agreed. My only real concern with it is that if I play one of my many board wipes, it might get swept away, which is normally fine for most things, but would be sad if it had 25 counters and was ready to smash face... I'll definitely give it some thought though.

Right now I feel like I have a bunch of good ideas to add to a list that is pretty strong most of the time, so the challenge is prioritizing spells and balancing out into something optimal... Basically paring things down into 100 of the best cards.
