Serra Ascendant because EDH is broken sometimes, plus he can stabilize your life total and falls into your life gain sub theme.

Swords to Plowshares just some efficient removal.

Ghostly Prison to run with all of your enchantments!

Wrath of God because you're running so few creatures, it can be good to run a few wipes

Fumigate same

Phyrexian Rebirth same same

Day of Judgment same same same

Thank you so much! I may be stuck in the past in certain ways because there was a stretch of years when I rarely played, so some of these are fairly new to me. Vindicate is a classic of course, but I forget that it exists. Attrition is awesome, but anything more than $10 is like ... something I don't want to buy impulsively, but I'll definitely add it to my wish list (would be perfect in my Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver deck too).

I think I might have a spare Fumigate in my binder. I'll have to check next time I sit down to tinker with my decks. Because yeah, even though this isn't really a lifegain deck, it would still potentially put me ahead and be a great advantage gaining all that life! Mythos of Snapdax - I need this!

Thank you Jabberjaw46! :) I'm not sure about Fumigate since I am worried about to have too few creatures. :/

The latest few sets have given us some new options for removal besides your typical Swords or Path. Strixhaven gave us Vanishing Verse and Midnight Hunt gave us Fateful Absence. I can also make a good argument for Fumigate as a board wipe. Considering you would likely gain a lot of life if your board is full of tokens. Vindicate might be sorcery speed but it does destroy any permanent. I run Mythos of Snapdax in my human tribal deck as another partial board wipe. But a card I find helps my human tribal deck and honestly would work well in my vampire deck is Attrition. It doesn't work if your opponents are running black but it is constant removal if they aren't.

Authority of the Consuls slows opponents and helps your lifegain strategy

Fumigate is a good wipe for life gain, I would replace your Realm-Cloaked Giant

Witch of the Moors

Serra Ascendant

Lanzo493 Atm Jokulhaups is in the maybe since it does hit lands which is sore subject in my playgroup thats why i was iffy on Ajani Vengeant but i see your point on both Phyrexian Rebirth and Kaya's Wrath also why i didn't add Fumigate

This is really cool! I have an indestructible-themed Modern deck too! I use white in mine though which gives me access to Pariah, Dispatch, and sweepers like Fumigate. Have you considered adding White in yours?

Housegheist Sorry for the late response as college just started up for me. Usually the life loss from deluge isn't as big a deal as the extra mana from Damn would be. When we're talking about having to wipe the board, we're going to need all the mana we can get on that same turn to rebuild. It's a similar philosophy for why Wrath of God is better than Fumigate. Usually 1 mana is a lot more impactful than life on a boardwipe, especially since we're in a 40 life format with a deck that has many ways to gain life. My meta even plays at 30 life every game, and I find deluge irreplaceable by any other board wipe. Life is a resource. Never be afraid to spend it aggressively for strong advantages like cards and mana. If you want a fourth wipe for creature-heavy metas though, Damn is probably the next best one.

Yeah Lurrus is never a bad card for any aristocrat deck. She's just slow and grindy in a deck that's already good at slow and grindy games. I don't think I could replace any current cards with her, but she's in the shortlist for cards that almost have a slot.
