I originally made a white border deck led by Sol'kanar the Swamp King, but after playing it I decided to change the focus of the deck to make it a little more competitive in my meta. I decided to switch to Dakkon Blackblade and shift to a control shell so that I could better compete in games.

After playing it, this deck runs much better than the grixis version. It has better removal, has a better chance of winning via commander damage, and doesn't have to play a bunch of spells that turn things into swamps (see Orcish Farmer). If you are building a white border deck in EDH, esper is the way to go.

Let me know if you have any suggestions, but please keep them relatively budget. Try to suggest cards that cost less than $5.
