I just bought a bwr curse deck on ebay and i need a better blocker than Warden of the Wall
Modern has so many good blockers it's hard to say.
AEther Membrane is one of my favorites if you've got the mana base to cast it.
Alternatively, you can use High Ground with any deathtouch critter with power 2 or more to 2 for 1.

Ideally with the deck i wont need blockers because Ghostly Prison and Curse of the Nightly Hunt should stop them but my white mana base is lowest of the 3 colours only being used for Curse of Exhaustion and Ghostly Prison

Wondering if Wall of Shards would be worth extending the game seeing how curse decks work slowly by stacking up more and more curses therefore more damage etc

Wall of Omens is a great defender, and it nets you card advantage.

There are a few good blockers in white particularly; you can have Wall of Omens (useful here, as people have said), Wall of Shards (again, tyforthevenom called it), Perimeter Captain or even Angelic Wall if fliers are a problem.

i only need blockers vs affinity decks and the occasional pod or flicker combo

If you're really worried about Affinity, stick Stony Silence in the sideboard. Against Pod and Flicker combo decks, sideboard Torpor Orb or Grafdigger's Cage (that only beats Pod though).

Ghostly Prison + Curse of the Nightly Hunt doesn't work like you think it does. They can just choose to not attack. It works the same as just having Ghostly Prison , because the payment isn't required.
From the gatherer page for Curse of the Nightly Hunt : If, during the enchanted player's declare attackers step, a creature he or she controls is tapped, is affected by a spell or ability that says it can't attack, or hasn't been under that player's control continuously since the turn began (and doesn't have haste), then it doesn't attack. If there's a cost associated with having the creature attack, the player isn't forced to pay that cost, so it doesn't have to attack in that case either.
Wall of Omens is the best blocker in modern.

I figured curse of nightly hunt and ghostly prison work as attack with all or attack with none

Don't know what curse is, but Wall of Omens is really good as has been mentioned above.
