In this week's episode of Modern Marvels Josh, Matt, and Marshall discuss tectonic edge and Keranos, God of Storms.  We also discuss one of the format's biggest decks: Scapeshift, a deck that if you're not playing, you need to be familiar with.  Coincidentally, it is also a great deck choice for those of you who are still looking for a deck to build and play. 


This Week's Listener Question: Do you think wizards will reprint fetch lands?  If so, when?  Will they include allied fetch?  Comment your response or send it to the show email below.
