Expanding on a basic Soul Sisters build, this deck works well against many types of aggro and control, but can be quick enough to stomp out infect before it gets started.

My two favorite cards in this deck are Celestial Flare and Awe Strike. Celestial Flare works against creatures with hexproof and Progenitus, and Awe Strike is great for early game and works well later on too.

Rebuff the Wicked and Path to Exile are interchangeable, depending on whether my opponent is running Path.

Hyena Umbra is good protection for my Serra Ascendants if I go below 30 life, and also a good boost if they are powered up. I like Felidar Umbra because I can switch it from creature to creature, hopefully landing it on a Serra Avenger. If I'm playing competitively I just switch it out with Lifelink, though I am looking for something closer to the protection of Felidar Umbra.

I love love love the double-lifelink boost that Rhox Faithmender gives me, especially when I have a few Soul Sisters on the board, but I'm thinking of switching them out with Ranger of Eos, just in case I don't have both the Martyr of Sands and a Serra Ascendant in my hand.

Ajani's Sunstriker is just a solid 2/2 lifelink for two that can get pretty heavy if some Umbras get to it.

And of course, the sisters themselves, Soul's Attendant and Soul Warden. I honestly love doing all the math when I start getting a few of them out and maybe even throw a Rhox Faithmender into the mix, especially against a token deck XD.

Perfect opening hand- Martyr of Sands, Soul's Attendant/Soul Warden, Serra Ascendant, Hyena Umbra, Rebuff the Wicked 2 Plains.

I know there are a lot of versions of the soul sisters out there so if anyone has any ideas or suggestions don't be afraid to let me know!

I took the enchantment Lifelink out of my sideboard, and put in the artifact Godsend. Seriously, how have I not seen this before?!? Why did I skip all those drafts?!? Anyway, now that I have it, I'll love it forever.

Again, I know that Felidar Umbra is not modern legal, but it is one of my favorite enchantments and when I play competitively I will be switching it out with Godsend. Depending on how it works out, I may just keep Godsend in.
