Haven't seen any discussion about this kind of deck so far, so I thought I would bring it up. Seems like it has been performing decently over the past month or so.
Here's a decklist for people that don't want to check the link
I've seen a small uptick (yeah, from 0 to some percentage higher than 0) of Blue Moon locally. The pilots seem to agree that it's better with Madcap Experiment and Platinum Emperion. The first time surprised me at a PPTQ where at 3-0, I faced one. He's a good player, but I did not expect anyone to be 3-0 at that point with Blue Moon. He barely nudged me out and he ended up winning that PPTQ with Blue Moon with Madcap.
Then I faced it a week later from another guy who I didn't expect to play it. I think there's been some success online, so people got hyped up by it. I will admit that it IS somewhat scary for my Titanshift deck. Although I had considered it in the first match I played vs. it, I think the all creature plan after SB is the best way to beat it.

Not sure about the Death's Shadow MU but it seems like it could be pretty good against most of the other linear decks.

I was offered the idea of using Coax from the Blind Eternities instead of running 4x Emrakul in the maindeck which I found interesting as it removes the problem of Emrakul shuffling back your graveyard (for Snapcaster) when you discard it (to Izzet Charm/Desolate Lighthouse) and also improves Peer through Depths as a cantrip in this deck that can find both Breach and Coax.
It can also get back Emrakul from exile in case it got hit by a Surgical Extraction type effect.
I've also toyed with the idea of Blightsteel Colossus instead of Emrakul as the Breach target as it can be tutored for with Treasure Mage/Fabricate.
