Is your goal to be standard only, or can you use older cards? What are the rules for the tournament?
Because if you can run older cards grabbing brainstorm, terminus, ponder/preordain, counterspell, and swords to plowshares/oust/path to exile would help a lot. You ron't need black for much here, UW curving counters into teferi is plenty to win.
KCI taking over seems perfectly natural, hyper-aggro still loses to fast combo and KCI has a decent matchup against control.
What magic really needs is something that can either clear the grave or destroy artifacts to unify the sideboard slots. That or a faster but more fragile combo deck to clear out the aggro but job to control.
I think reverse crumbling vestige could be cool. EtB tapped but generates a colorless mana when it does, then is a dual the rest of the time. So you aren't behind on mana, but you are on fixing.
This is true of other hobbies too. Flying to hunt big game or fish in Alaska or take your kayak to a specific lake/river, going to auto-shows, traveling in general.
The expensive thing about magic is shared with most hobbies.
I think this is modern playable in Junk. T1 bird, t2 ruin dredge and phoenixes day. Tick down helps against apirits and humans by killing vial, kills death's shadow and keeps them off gurmag, heals you against aggro, ticks down against infect, etc.
It has decent game against almost everything, and is great against the best decks in the format. I don't think it is a sideboard card, I think it is a 1-2 of main board to increase chances of G1 win against certain decks and does something against the rest of the field.
What I really want is nore like:
1BW The Hate Queen
+1 exile two target cards from the same graveyard.
-1 exile target artifact or enchantment.
-7 exile all none-land permanents.
Yes Magic is pretty cheap. My other hobbies include backpacking, hunting and fishing. They all cost far more money, just the licenses for them cost me $500 annually plus gas, boots, guns, poles, inevitable snapped straps and broken equipment. If I go ocean fishing it is $150 a day on top of the other costs.
Last year I spent $3000 on outdoor hobbies and $500 on MTG. One of my buddies bought a new rig to get up old logging roads and bought a new set of backpacking equipment, total amounting to 50K.
Getting season tickets for college football is several thousand a year plus gas, for NFL it is far more. Expensive hobbies like Yachts/sailboats, horses, and welding cost tens of thousands annually.
In the game arena board games and video games are individually cheaper but likely a PS4 owner has spent the equivalent of a modern deck on it, and I used to spend $250 annually on new board games. Abd miniatures cost way more, 40K and Warmastuff require re-specking every edition and you spend $1000-$2000 dollars per army.
Even Vintage/Old School aren't truly awful compared to buying a boat or fixing an old car.
Making pauper and penny dreadful full formats would be good for younger/poorer players and helping draft cards retain some value, but the prices are fine overall.
Kind if an odd card. I suppose you could run it with a bunch of indestructible creatures so you always win combat, but it doesn't do much on its own and really effects creature decks which tend to be weaker anyway.
You could have them get exiled, then returned flipped face down and have morph or megamorph. Morphing represents them healing back to their original form, the morph form is their injured bodies and as such is only a 2/2. This also means they can only regenerate 1/turn unless they pay to unmorph before paying to flicker again.

I think there are some fun things thst can be done with this and pestilence, steadily wiping opponent's creatures and making your own ever larger.
Great with indestructible and persist for hard to remove threats as well.
