2 Builds of MDRN Shamans, which is better?

Deck Help forum

So Ive played Shamans in Modern since, well, since Modern was a thing really. In the early days I had quite a bit of success with it, but as the format developed, the power level of the format increased and the Meta evolved into an inhospitable environment for Shamans. So its been a few years since I pulled them out for any sort of competitive play, for obvious reasons, but Im going to a cash game later this week and since Im not really worried about making rank, just losing money, I was thinking of 'bringing it back'. I still have my old shamans deck assembled, but was thinking of an alternate build to bring it up into the times, its had very little changes over the years, the addition of Hellrider to the list is probably about it. Shamantics is my old list, and I am thinking of buying a few of the newer shamans and turning it into this Neo-Shamantics. The original build is a bit more aggresive, while the newer version provides much more card advantage.

Im looking for your expert opinions on which one of these two lists is better in todays day and age, and Meta. Thanks all in advance. RM
