Unfortunately it seems zendikar only had half the dual colors in fetch. So for u/b I am out of luck

if they return to zenkidar, they may finish the cycle

Zendikar had the 5 enemy color lands, so you can either use {U}X ones and {B}X ones or just use one set of them to save some money depending on what lands you want to fetch with them

Wait on the Fetchlands unless you absolutely desperately want to get into modern before next year. They're going to be reprinted in some form, my guess in the set after Theros as wizards knows that if they want to make modern playable, the land base has to be cheaper than 300 bucks.

So true also I never understood this why are only 5 guild colours for fetches Modern legal why not have all 10?

(Or am I missing something?)

They're legal (or not) because of the sets they're printed in. If all ten fetches were only printed in Onslaught, then there would be no modern legal fetches. WotC decided for whatever reason to not reprint any of them (as of yet) which is why people think they'll be reprinted soon to lower costs, among other reasons.

Same reasons they're afraid to print anything pre-Mirrodin worth anything: collectors bitching about losing on their investment
You're 100% right...its a card GAME not a card BITCH AND WHINE BECAUSE MY DUAL LAND FELL $10, If only Wizards could figure this out...

That's weird and sucks. I know what you mean about collectors like yes it's cool to build a collection but Magic is first and foremost a card game and should be treated as one

They wont reprint fetches until the next block at the earliest. Cant see them ever wanting shocks and fetches in the same standard format.

You can get by with just the 5. They dont want to crush the values on the old fetches when its not exactly necessary to reprint them.

You're mistaking onslaught fetches with the reserved list (a whole different monster that needs to go away). They can reprint the onslaught fetches as they wish. Part of their thinking behind not reprinting the onslaught fetches into modern probably stems from not really wanting to give the format of 3-4 color goodstuff decks even more color fixing than what they aleady have access to. Also shocks + fetches in standard isn't something they want.

My personal feeling on fetches being reprinted would be just the onslaught ones, but I think Maro has recently said that they want the "duals" of a set/block to come in 10 now, so I'm probably wrong.
