How has Kaladesh Affected your Modern Experience?

I'm interested in any changes in your play groups now that Kaladesh has been out for awhile. Mine has remained pretty much the same, but I want to know if anything has changed in other areas.
I try to make Mardu work in Modern. I've been very enticed by cards such as Scrapheap Scrounger and Unlicensed Disintegration, but I'm still not quite sure in which direction I want to take a deck that uses those cards.

I forgot to mention the fast lands also help with acquiring a cheaper, yet still effective manabase.

I mean, enemy fast-lands made my Delver deck feel pretty good

Botanical Sanctum has been some great budget mana fixing for Infect.I personally play Dredge in legacy, not modern, but I'd assume Cathartic Reunion is going to see some pretty extensive play in modern Dredge over Tormenting Voice if the decks can't manage to play both.

@StopShot, Scouty, and GotCubes
I'm glad to hear the new lands have definitely seen play and lower prices are a relief for my wallet.

GotCubes, I recently decided to play around with the deck on here, and Reunion is pretty insane (unless, you know, Remand happens, but even then you've got grave set up)
From all the reading up I've been doing on the deck, no one seems to have considered Scrapheap Scrounger for it... So I'm wondering if it's a good idea or not.

i have faced the Madcap - Platinum Emprium combo on a few occasions, splashed in RG Ponza. I myself am looking to use Authority of the Consuls as an overall utility against burn, and Emrkul/Breach/Goryo's vengeance tricks

I played double moon walkers at FNM last week and played Dovin Baan vs. affinity. It was hilarious watching my opponent have to play around his useless Arcbound Ravager.

Authority of the Consuls slows down burn deck so much that it warranted some sideboard slots in my Bant Eldrazi deck. No more dying prematurely because of Goblin Guide and Monastery Swiftspear. Also, I've made a modern version of R/G pummeler, and it's like infect, but with more beatdown options, or death shadow zoo without needing to rely on a coin flip against burn. The drawback is that some of the energy producing cards are just extremely bad for modern, but I have my hopes up for Aether Revolt adding just something else to make it playable in modern.

One person in my playgroup has been brewing madcap combo, but other than that I haven't felt much of a change. Take that with a grain of salt, since my modern play group is myself and 1 other guy with paper decks, and 2 more guys who do a lot of brewing on this site.
