Is it Sword of War and Peace, Sword of Feast and Famine, [[sword of fire and ice] or Sword of Light and Shadow for the current modern meta

I can confidently say that for the Modern meta right now, Sword of Fire and Ice and Sword of Feast and Famine are the better of the four.
Grixis Delver has been running rampant Online according to MTGGoldfish, and Junk/Little Kid Junk are both still viable. These decks of course among other U/R/X and G/B/X decks.

Sword of Fire and Ice - protection from bolts and Vapor Snag. The card draw ability is nice.
Against you actually want Sword of Light and Shadow. The lifegain and reanimation mean you win the atrrition war and pro white and black means you can get around those lingering souls tokens, all removal (including path).
War and Peace isn't relevant enough.
Feast and Famine is just worse than Light and Shadow.

Well just got judge light and shadow for abzan matches (as bell sama tried to say) should I get fire and ice for twin match ups?

If I had to go favorites, Feast and Famine.
And meta wise, Fire and Ice?

Normally I'd say to run either Sword of Fire and Ice or Sword of Light and Shadow. Chief summed up pretty well why they are superior to the others.
Also I'm entertained that you didn't even bother to mention Sword of Body and Mind. It's unplayable in Modern, but still could have been mentioned!

I consider it so unplayable that I wouldn't even run it in commander

I play against both twin and abzan and both can be bad for me but it's a coin flip

basially my matchup is a race to kill them before they combo or get something big in the way so it's a coinflip

I'd say Light and Shadow, mostly because the colors it protects against are relevant (spell AND creature-wise), and the damage triggers are good for the meta too, either pushing you out of bolt range or grinding through attrition.

Completely relative.They're all good.
