The strategy of this deck is to tap down or bounce the opponent's key permanents while copying our own. Getting around the Legendary Rule is essential which is why Mirror Box or Sakashima is a key card to make as many Orvar tokens as possible. To me, making as many tokens as possible is what makes Orvar fun.

It is important to note, Orvar is perhaps the greatest mono-blue ramp spell in existence since he can make token copies of our lands. This must be exploited to gain ahead of the EDH decks with green.

This could easily be a spell slinger deck, I put more Creatures than necessary in this deck to tone down the power level of this deck. Orvar has cEDH potential, this is intentionally lowered so you can have more casual games at FNM. Some of the cEDH staples are in the Maybeboard. Also within the maybeboard is some additional budget options to make the deck more affordable.
