I understand the noble from the noble hierarch. But where does the fish come in? Coz when see fish, I think merfolk-themed deck. or at least that kind of style.
A fish deck is any kind of blue-based anti-meta deck using small beaters. This stems from the deck originally running some Merfolks, but they have all slowly been replaced by other cards.
"Fish" was the original name for the old Merfolk list; before Merfolk lords were printed aside from Lord of Atlantis.
The deck worked functionally the same (counter-magic, small blue dudes) but only had Lord of Atlantis as a pumper. Since they creatures were small, and merfolky, the name Fish was attributed.
Fish is a Vintage archetype consisting of small weenie creatures; typically in a blue shell.

Merfolk are fish
Cold Noble/Noble Fish was where the name comes from, not including the old school "Fish" decks using Merfolk of the Pearl Trident.
