However, almost all decks in Modern are unfair and if I can't interact with my opponent's board all the lifepoints in the world often can't save me...
The problem is that there are only 36 non-land slots in the deck and so many good cards -_-
Atm I am using 2x Path and 2x Solitude as my only cards to remove threats.
Other candidates would be Skyclave Apparition (versatile but no synergy with the other creatures), March of Otherworldly Light main (versatile but slower than Path), and Prismatic Ending (maybe as a SB option in a 2-color deck).
If anyone has any suggestions for a good mix, I would appreciate it.
Regarding the card choices, I think the creature suite is already as optimal as it can be.
The Worship could also be a Serra the Benevolent. (The Wandering Emperor is the better PW, but Serra would be better in this deck imho.)
Moving March main could open up a SB slot.
Green SB cards are one reason why I prefer Selesnya over the Saga/Vial version. Choke is awesome right now! Endurance and Force of Vigor are very good cards but the deck doesn't run enough other green cards to support them.
1x Heroic Intervention could be a good SB addition against sweepers. Veil of Summer is good too, but the deck might need more green mana sources to play it reliably during early turns. Toski, Bearer of Secrets could be good for grindy matches to draw cards with all the flyers.

Realmwalker wasn't working because you only had 11 other Angels in the deck for it to abuse. I play a lot of GW Angels in Standard with Realmwalker and you really need a high amount of Angels to make it work. I wouldn't run as many in Modern but I usually run about 24 to 26 other Angels in order to spam out multiple Angels on a single turn. Also Linvala, Shield of Sea Gate is highly versatile as well. Giving your Angels hexproof or indestructible at instant speed can make a world of difference. Yes you would have to rework the mana base and/or add 4 Secluded Courtyard. Also Youthful Valkyrie is a house in Standard. With a high enough density of Angels it can grow out of control and finish games quickly if not responded to.
I can't help much more than that. Again I am just trying to share some success I have had in Standard and whether it ports over to Modern I cannot be sure. Good luck.
Playing since 1994: Currently MAGS (HomeBrew),Standard & Pauper (Pioneer and Modern are degenerate trash formats)

I think there are two possible ways to do this:
1. Mono White with Urza's Saga and Aether Vials
2. Selesnya with Company
The most difficult part is to find the right balance between synergy cards and cards to interact with your opponent.
Right now I am using this mix:
Soul Warden, Righteous Valkyrie and Bishop of Wings gain life, while Voice of the Blessed, Valkyrie and Resplendent Angel reward me for the lifegain.
Sanctuaries and 4 Lifelinkers strengthen this synergy. If the opponent doesn't interact with my board, things get crazy real fast.

Suppression Field is really strong in Modern atm.
I'd say the deck is semi-competitive now.
It's just not strong enough for the current Modern meta.
Next try: BW Angels
This one is much better!
Give it a try and see for yourself.
