So the players at my new LGS have rather limited collections, and people are beginning to dislike playing against my "good" decks. So I decided to power down a bit. I decided a cool challenge would be to restrict myself to all white bordered cards, and that I would otherwise try to play my deck optimally. (Then I'm going to put them in white sleeves and play it on a very dark mat and it's going to look awesome.) I haven't actually built this yet, but I wanted to get some opinions before I go out and acquire all these cards.
Notable Omissions: Vampiric Tutor: I already have copies from visions, and don't feel like shelling out the cash for a fifth copy I'll never use outside of this deck.
Time Warp: I know it's a great card, but everyone hates playing against it.
The ABUR dual lands: I have them, but if I don't include them, I'd be 100% comfortable loaning this deck out to anyone and not caring too much if cards are damaged or stolen, so it's not worth running them, as useful as they'd be.
Everything in P3K: To be honest, I didn't even look at this set when I was throwing this list together. There are some bombs in there, but I'd definitely have to order those cards, and the most useful ones are also crazy expensive. If you know of anything from P3K that you think would totally be worth ordering, please suggest it!
In p3k, my personal favorites would be xiahou dun and lu xun, scholar general. lu xun is waaaay better than magpie. And since the judge promo got made of xiahou, neither are super expensive.
Some secret white bordered printings. Battle Royal box set was printed all in white borders so were some others like Deckmasters: Garfield vs. Finkel
inside are some interesting white bordered cards like a Living Death with a golden tempest expansion symbol from Battle Royal box set. Beatdown and
Anthologies are other sources for some strange white bordered cards. Happy hunting

Loxodon Warhammer is in the OP. I anticipate it being one of the cards I tutor for most.
Necro is a good idea. Thanks! I glanced over it initially because for some reason I always associate it with combo decks.
I also came across remote isle, polluted mire, and drifting meadow from the battle royale box set, which I'll be removing basics for.

There's a reason for that. That said, Necropotence is so absurd by itself, combo is purely optional.
Enlightened Tutor has a WB printing, and it's probably good.
