Deck discussion for Shadow premodern

I once won a 4th place with a premodern deck back when it wasn't called premodern.
It was based on the soltari and lifegain, and at that period of time the power 9 were still legal.
I myself played without power.

I actually still got the list somewhere if it has any interest.

It was around may 2006, the grass was green, kamigawa was all the rage, and my friend had just found this new game store, so we were unknown invaders of the place.
I played an absolute homebrew with a computer designed manacurve. I called it:
"It's a soltari life" (pun on solitary)

22 plains
4 leonin elder
4 soul warden
4 ghost-lit redeemer
4 soltari priest
4 silver knight
4 leonin skyhunter
4 soltari visionary
4 soltari champion
4 emissary of hope
2 swords to plowshares (was supposed to be sideboard, but forgot 2 pegasus charger at home)

SIDEBOARD:
4 kami of ancient law
1 seal of cleansing
2 swords to plowshare (originally 4 but had to put 2 in main)
2 eye for an eye
2 plains (had to put them in because of the lost pegasi)
4 whipcorder

The meta was extremely unprepaired for my build as noone knew us,
And noone had ever built deck mana by using a computer.

I knew goblins and affinity would be everywhere
(Emissary of hope and leonin elder was chosen because people played affinity with 5 moxen and a lotus, and the mox were pretty much everywhere)

The concept of an evasive build with lifegain to support a fully reckless attack was also completely new at the time)

The matches:

Confidant dreadnought I beat 2-0, I knew that guy from another place so knew what he played.

Tendrils, bargain, desire: I lose it 0-2, my first encounter with tendrils.

Boros oath, triskelion: I lose 1-2.

At this stage I'm a bit demoralised with 1 win and 2 losses.

Goblin stomp: I win 2-0

Uw jitte: I win 2-0 but both games were damn close.

Boros oath, tyrant: I lose 0-2.

It seems my memories must have changed, it wasn't at that tournament I got the 4th place.
Instead I ranked as 11 out of 25 players.

Must have been shortly after that I got 4th place.

Anyways, what was impressive was that everyone else brought power to the table, and I didn't even run a mox Pearl though I had one at the time. It was unheard of at that era in time to pull a stunt like that.

Hows premodern these days ?
I remember when I learned about it, I sat down and remembered at least 50 decktypes from the era.
(Most notably reap/lace which was truly epic)

Also, we are being spammed at the moment.
Best way to ride that out is to seek out posts with comments and start talking with people
Who cares enough about the place to talk to each other.

Tnx for sharing.
I'v just started with premodern, the meta seems quite diverse and fun and the community nice and active.
Here is the official website if you are interested https://premodernmagic.com/ , also they have a Facebook page where they showcase decks and arrange tournaments (not in my area sadly)

I took a look and though there is a lot of decks, I'm pretty sure they missed some

I looked after some versions of reap-lace and it turns out that old mtgvaulter puschkin had one lying around :)
I've commented on the deck, so it should be available.
It's titled "replacement killers"
