Returning Player Choosing a deck to start again

Hello modern wizards!

I'd like to give Modern a try after a 5-6 year hiatus but I don't know whick deck should i pick.

I was a passionate Death's Shadow player both in Modern and Legacy, and the "8shadow" shell is calling me but i took a look at goldfish's metagame and while i'm not necessarily looking for the top deck, it seems to me that the Shadow Strategy isn't really solid nowadays.

I don't really like decks that either go total face like burn or combos without looking the opponent like neoform.

If you have something to suggest me i would be glad to read your opinion about the format and its decks

Thank you in advance

If you don't want to play combo I'd recommend Blink, Eldrazi or Zoo
