This is ported over from my Bant stoneblade deck. Most shardless players will tell you that games with deathrite and without are hugely different. Noble fills a similar role, and the fact that it can always generate mana is very powerful. Yes it really is playable, and the jump of 3 drop on T2 is enough payoff. With both noble and Deathrite in hand, noble is normally the better early game play. That they have other value later is a bonus.

JTMS is a card I do like main, but I have mostly wanted it against miracles and other midrange decks. The jittes and jaces were originally swapped, but I have been facing lots of delver, eldrazi, D&T and shardless, so in that environment I like this arrangement. (Yes I bring the Jaces in against shardless but jittes are also strong there).
