Title: C:oP vs Extort

I am one of those people that runs a "newer" C:oP deck with Rune of Protections, Island Sanctuary, Peace Keeper, and Angel's Trumpet.
While I've always had an issue with colorless creatures (morph and Eldrazi) I have come to realize that Extort is a real and deadly problem for my deck.
With colorless creatures, I can remove the combat phase or use a pacifism or even just exile the creature. My problem is that I don't have enough exile to take out an extort deck, since a good extort deck doesn't need to attack. Is there some bizarre card out there that allows me to gain life whenever an opponent gains life? It has been months and I am running out of ideas.

Ghost Town (or Maze's End or Oboro, Palace in the Clouds or Thawing Glaciers or Undiscovered Paradise) and Eternity Vessel would be life restoring in mono white

Same with Mirror Universe and Soul Conduit as a threat not to use extort.

Resolute Archangel or Platinum Emperion are maybe to slow/expensive or vulnerable to creature removal...

Maybe Touch of the Eternal is a card for you.

I'll probably end up using any of the last three, as I am running monowhite. I used to have a P.E. but traded it away and I MIGHT have an extra R.A., either of which I could hard cast or recur with Emeria, Sky Ruin.
I will most likely seek out a Touch of the Eternal, however, because I have various things to protect my enchantments, as well as Replenish, which would recur it.

Thank you!
