It's not really infinite unless you have a way of untapping candelabra (Mono artifact means it has an activation cost of tapping in the old lingo).

Oh yeah! I second this!

Considering 90% of my Magic thought and brewing goes into Modern, most of my decisions about this will come from my Modern delusions and aspirations.

I think the following cards would make the format a better place:
Prohibit - A better situational counter than remand for the decks that want it.
Damnation - Come on Wizards! Reprint the Damn thing already!
Opt - Gives blue mages a decent instant cantrip for 1.
Price of Progress - This would work with Blood Moon at punishing the greedy mana-bases.
Sylvan Library - Green Power! (with fetches + shocks, the life loss would be more relevant than in legacy)
Shardless Agent - Allows a whole new archetype of aggro to rise up, as well as giving combo a new toy.
Crop Rotation - Gives Tron a bit of a push and allows better deck-building via land-based answers to things.
Noble Hierarch - Wizards missed a big one by not reprinting this in M14. Like Wow.
Divert - because "What's the fun of being a wizard if you can't mess with people's heads?" also answers abrupt decay
*edit*
Glimpse the Unthinkable - or functional reprint
Oblation - or functional reprint

This concludes my first gloss over cards I think should be reprinted for Modern (either legality or access).

In my Momir Vig deck Aluren pretty much means I win on the spot, so I guess I don't really think of the 'drawback' that often. You also run curio though, so I figured you'd get more benefit than anyone as well. Looking through you deck at the magic number 3 or less creatures, I see several new win conditions with active Aluren + Curio or Aluren + Tidespout Tyrant.

That's the list I run for reference.

By that I mean, the land denial plan acts to blank removal already.

Not of this world would work to stop them from killing the Marit token, so it could be viable if you're scared of removal super-badly. I honestly don't know how good it'd be but I suspect that with the land denial already that it's probably fine as is.

I ran the full set of tabernacles because with winter orb, they're basically a cataclysm every turn.

Do you think? Therefore are you?

Never in a deck has Vampiric Tutor been more flavorful.

This is pretty much exactly how I'd build Animar! You might like Aluren in the deck.

I like it! (I clicked because it had an awesome name btw) I remember playing against decks like this all the time in Innistrad. Lingering souls is a HOUSE.

This is also pretty good against my American control in Modern. V-clique and snapcaster look silly against either half of a lingering souls.

Kira is your greatest ally against American control. I lost 2-1 to a fish player at a PTQ because of Vial+Kira. I was so mad. Plus those are just so hard to play against if you don't know the matchup well enough anyway. Vial should be auto-include.

This was me playing with the idea of actually curving out with an aggro deck in EDH as consistently as possible. I don't have it built or plan to build it really.

This is the EDH deck I actually play (or should I say, play most consistently because I have 5 or 6 at any given time):

Suggestions Utilized

I had a reason I wasn't running Misty's but I've completely forgotten.

Elvish Spirit Guide! Worldly Tutor! Enlightened Tutor!

YAY!

I feel like this deck could actually win things.

Here's your deck with my suggestions all put together:

(because you're probably sleeping right now and this can't wait because it's too amazing).

HOLY FREAKING CRAP, Winter Orb. This needs to play Winter Orb.
