I think I have a solution.
Let me talk this over with Boslof for a few days or such.
I’ll “go public” once he has decided what to do. 
Still doesn’t affirm my point that his beginning game is extremely weak and his end game is extremely situational. All the games abilities can be powerful when intended. Noble gets that big play every now and then but nothing like the other BD classes have.
I just had my first game as Noble after the Prince rework and i agree completely wit OP. I felt so useless the first 4 nights and then what do you know… I died night ,5. Only thing I was able to really do was prove there was a noble in game to help back up my claim with the order ability.
I think both night abilities are extremely situational and underpowered, even if they are infinite. I’d take a 1-3 charge ability - with IMPACT prior to day 5 - over those 2 infinites which have no practical use early game.
I think the main issue is that people get informed when the noble uses all of his abilities and it kind of makes them hard to use.
