Just doing a quick look at the MTG Wiki:
The mechanic Overload arose out of a mechanic designed by Ken Nagle in the first round of the Great Designer Search 1.
Ethan Fleischer's Evolve Mechanic from the Great Designer Search 2 found its way into the game.
Shawn Main created a mechanic in the Great Designer Search 2 that would be renamed and placed in the game as Battalion )
Looting becoming part of Red's Color Identity has its birth in the Great Designer Search 2.
You Make the Creature contest resulted in the creation of Spiritmonger .
You Make the Card contests resulted in the creation of: Forgotten Ancient , Crucible of Worlds , Vanish into Memory , and Waste Not .
The Winners of the Magic Invitational were allowed to design a card that would feature their likeness. From that, we got:
- Olle Råde's Sylvan Safekeeper ;
- Darwin Kastle's Avalanche Riders ;
- Mike Long's Rootwater Thief ;
- Chris Pikula's Meddling Mage ;
- Jon Finkel's Shadowmage Infiltrator ;
- Kai Budde's Voidmage Prodigy ;
- Jens Thoren's Solemn Simulacrum ;
- Bob Maher's Dark Confidant ;
- Terry Soh's Rakdos Augermage ;
- Antoine Ruel's Ranger of Eos ; and
- Tiago Chan's Snapcaster Mage .
The 2005 Magic Invitational had a vote for a fan-submitted card. Tsuyoshi Fujita's winning entry would eventually become Gemstone Caverns .
Magic 2015 had a number of cards created by famous Magic fans. These cards are:
- George Fan's (Plants vs. Zombies) Genesis Hydra ;
- Penny Arcade's (of the Penny Arcade webcomic and creator of PAX) Avarice Amulet ;
- Markus Persson's (creator of Minecraft) Aggressive Mining ;
- Richard Garriot's (creator of Ultimata) Shield of the Avatar ;
- David Sirlin's (designer on Street Fighter II) Master of Predicaments ;
- Rob Pardo's (lead designer for WoW) Xathrid Slyblade ;
- Isaiah Cartwright's (lead designer for Guild Wars 2) Warden of the Beyond ;
- Justin Gary's (winner 2003's National Team Championship in Worlds) Spirit Bonds ;
- Stone Librande's (lead designer Diablo III) Goblin Kaboomist ;
- Brian Fargo's (Founder of Interplay Entertainment, which made the original Fallout games) Yisan, the Wanderer Bard ;
- Mike Neumann's (creative director for Borderlands) Chasm Skulker ;
- James Ernest's (creator of Cheapass Games) Hot Soup ;
- Edmund McMillen's (indie game designer) Cruel Sadist ; and
- Brad Muir's (game designer of Double Fine, which made Psychonauts) Ob Nixilis, Unshackled .
I think that should answer your question. There also have been a number of players who were hired directly as a result of their play in tournaments or performances in things like the Great Designer Search, so, in a sense, could be considered fans turned card creators. However, once they become part of the design team, they are no longer merely fan creators, so I am not sure they would be responsive to your question.

Back in my day, we played Warden of the Beyond and we liked it... Perhaps try some imprint cards? There are good ones out there

Have you considered Warden of the Beyond ? It seems like it could fit into the exile-matters theme of this deck.

Extraplanar Warrior
Creature - Human Warrior
Vigilance
~ gets +2/+2 if you have anything other than a legendary creature or a planeswalker in your command zone.
2/2
Make a card that riffs on one of the cards from Magic 2015 that was not made by Wizards, e.g. Genesis Hydra, Aggressive Mining, Goblin Kaboomist, Xathrid Slyblade, Waste Not, Warden of the Beyond, Avarice Amulet, Hot Soup, Spirit Bonds, Yisan, the Wanderer Bard, Ob Nixilis, Unshackled, Master of Predicaments.

Adding White would also allow you to use cats like Pride Guardian. Warden of the Beyond could maybe be the Wizard, if you wanna throw in some exile.

I'm back! I feel like I didn't give you an in-depth enough review the last time, so I've decided to fix that. I love the new changes to the deck! Not sure if you're still looking for recommendations, but here you go!
Cuts:
Exalted Angel - Not very good, especially for 6.
Reya Dawnbringer - Your main priority is dropping Avacyn, and Avacyn should never go to the graveyard. Also, 9 mana?? Really??
Thraben Heretic - If your friend group works with the graveyard a lot, run Tormod's Crypt Otherwise, don't even bother with anyone's graveyard.
Archetype of Courage - Doesn't do what you want it to do.
Angelic Edict and Iona's Judgement - Awful cards. Better exile effects in the adds section.
Archangel's Light - love the flavor, but you don't care about the life, and in my experience Avacyn's grave tends to be a bit empty.
Moonsilver Spear - again, loving the flavor, however, high mana cost and slow on the uptake.
Dispatch - You don't run very many artifacts.
Warden of the Beyond - not enough value. Not worth your time.
Angel of Finality - Again. Graveyards. Tormod's Crypt
Defy Death - Generally empty graveyards.
Adds:
Lightning Greaves - a little spendy, but possibly one of the most fundamentally important cards to any Avacyn deck. You need one.
Weathered Wayfarer - you can start the game with this card and one land in your opening hand and be perfectly okay. This card has saved me more times than I can could. A must have.
Oblivion Ring Better Exile
Grasp of Fate Better Exile
Stonehewer Giant - great for getting those Lightning Greaves or that Worldslayer.
Basalt Monolith - Dat ramp doe.
Phyrexian Rebirth - Beautiful boardwipe
Akroma's Memorial - I don't know why you have a sideboard, or what it's there for, but this card deserves to be in the main deck.
Palisade Giant - cast Avacyn, make it indestructible. Beautiful.
Mother of Runes Mom will always looks out for you. .. and protect Avacyn from exile spells.
Archangel of Tithes - She makes it so people generally don't want to or can't attack/block you.
Finally, Elspeth, Sun's Champion A card that takes over an entire game if left alone for more than two turns. She is import to have.
That is all of the cheaper replacements I could think of, but there are expensive one's too. I wish you the best of luck with this deck and hope to know that you succeed with it.
