Back in the day, I used to run a U/W Turbo Stasis deck. For kicks, I thought I'd try to update it to "modernize" it, which included dropping White altogether and shifting to U/B (thank you, Planar Chaos!). It's technically Vintage-legal, but I don't hold any misconceptions about it being truly competitive anymore. Anyway, I made a bunch of reasonable substitutions (Elixir of Immortality replaced Feldon's Cane, Remand replaced Arcane Denial, Damnation replaced Wrath of God, Frozen Aether replaced Kismet, etc.) and fit in a couple of new toys (fetchlands, Jace, the Mind Sculptor, Tezzeret the Seeker). I am still looking to shoehorn 3x Force of Will into the deck, but I'm at a loss as to how to optimize the build for the purest agony possible.
I'm also interested in trying to figure out how to compensate for the loss of Enlightened Tutor.
For the life of me I can't understand why you'd run this in vintage rather than legacy, nor why you'd run black over white for damnation and demonic tutor.
Go back to white, cut the vintage stuff, add back in 4x enlightened tutor. You need faster, cheaper searching. Forget jace and tezzeret (too expensive) and cut to maybe 2 howling mine, replace with brainstorm, ponder, ect.

Cut wrath effects (again, too expensive) and just use cards like swords to plowshares and oust.
4x force of will before any other counters.
Emrakul, the aeons torn rather than elixer... you can discard to reshuffle the library or hard-cast late game as an alternate win-con.
