Also, looking at one of my Tenth Edition Holy Day and physically feeling a handful of my beard hairs suddenly turning grey. My my, I am growing rather h'weary.

I accept the 'commander' argument for Mandate of Peace since we often get more out there cards in commander only sets. But it was a fog I knew of immediately.
Looking for more recent fog effects in white, there is Eerie Interference from Sep 2023. Generally worse than Holy Day but it could additionally stop other effects such as from Guttersnipe with added benefit of not stopping your blockers/attackers dealing damage.
Two years ago (at least), we had a white fog in standard. For most of the game's history it has been a part of white's wheelhouse. I think moving out of fogs for white, would be a mistake. However, I would accept less efficient or more specialized fogs in the future (which they have done already, could just keep getting less efficient).

Holy Day was last printed (afaik) in 2011, so 14 years ago… that’s an eternity of time as far as mtgs colour-pie development.
it feels a little dubious to call Mandate of Peace a fog effect, although I agree it’s almost the same. Regardless, that card is still 6 years old (and from a commander set), so still a pretty fair while ago (importantly, it’s not been printed into standard, so not an effect white has has access to for a long time in magics premier rotating format. Imo, Wotc tend to be slightly-more lenient on printing effects colors have lost access to, directly into eternal formats that already have those effects).

I'm just a bit stunned we're calling cards like Holy Day and Mandate of Peace "very old."

White has its own "fogs" on top of the actual fogs they have from years ago which is what Maro already answered so they stopped and just made them strictly green.
Angelsong, Holy Day, and Riot Control come to mind.
There's also Dawn Charm.
Does white have other other effects that have a similar funtion?
Yeah, like Teferi's Protection & Everybody Lives!
I feel like you already answered your own question though on top of Rosewater also answering it.

Idoneity thank you for the suggestions. I def need to look into the white fog effects, I know I've seen Dawn Charm and Ethereal Haze and Holy Day before, and I probably even have multiple copies of them, but I forgot they existed until now. I'll have to look through my commons boxes.
Portcullis seems mean in a good way. I ahve cards like Meekstone and Smoke as pseudo-planeswalker protection, but maybe adding more stax would make the deck more powerful, though maybe less fun to play against.

I'm just saying maybe focus more on the strategy of the deck. what if you got rid of most of the other cards that have less combos in the deck. imagine if you only had cards like Holy Day,Kami of False HopeSilence and Fireball. also more tutors.

Cool, thanks for your good suggestions and ideas! :) I really didn't have Eel Umbra on my screen. But instead of Hyena Umbra, I would probably replace Angelic Renewal with it. That way there would be room for an instant protection effect and instead there's one more card that gives +1/+1. What do you think about that?
Settle the Wreckage sounds good, but I wouldn't include it for the same reason I took AEtherize or Illusionist's Gambit out of the deck: They are too expensive and instead I rely on a good mix of spot and group targets. If only a single creature is attacking, it's not worth using a Holy Day. With the lure removals you would want to distract from the danger of the commander, correct? In my experience, Isperia isn't usually seen as a threat at the table, it tends to be seen as "underpowered" (even after multiple games). When she's on the table, someone else often already has something nasty and big ;-)
