Modern Monday – Mardu Vehicles

This past weekend I wandered into Mox Boarding House to pick something up and it happened to be during their weekly Thursday Modern tournament.

Modern Monday – Four-Color Planeswalkers

Last week someone on Facebook posted a Modern Four-Color Superfriends list to my wall from the SCG Classic and suggested I play it for some videos.
