Thanks for excellent write up! I do have some follow up questions if you don't mind. Whats the thought behind having only 2 blood moon and 2 cryptic? I feel for both moon and cryptic 3 "should" be right since we want to see them each game. Is the addition of opt making us able to cut down one and find it eventually? Is it more of a meta thing?
I tried to backtrack a little bit, but couldn't find some information I was after. What is the general build of Blue moon. I've seen some TiTi build, young pyromancer online. And during the GP there was many on the breach version, even a mad cap version. Whats the general thoughts behind these decks? It looks like breach is the most powerful one, being able to steal games out of nowhere. However, I'm personally a fan of YP and TiTi(tho ofc they dont go in the same deck)
Is TiTi playing like a control deck perhaps, and breach/madcap is a tempo combo deck?
I had it in vs. Merfolk and elves. I don't think these are the matchup where you want them.(although they are better than nothing) A sweeper is much more better than making tokens. It was very good vs the grindier matchup. Played vs bg midrange UWx control and the go wide strategy really helped closing out and dealing with planeswalkers.
I read the article, while the YP is interesting. I must disagree some points from personal experiences. (I like the card myself, but not really sure how it fairs in the deck)
1. He's being counter intuitive with taking out brutality, but still side them in some matchups (might be a type) But i disagree cutting brutality at all. This card single handily beats burn, and comes in in more than that matchup. Examples of matchups id side it in; storm, UWx control, titanshift(even company decks, if you dont have more slots)
2. Siding out denials vs. E-tron. This is the only card which gets chalice on the draw. Although we do have means to fight a resolved chalice. Not keeping any post-board makes us really more vurneable to it especially since we take out a pair of IoK. And it counters 80% of the deck, possibly more after sideboard.
3. Mirror; Siding out Street Wraith. From my personal experiences, this is all about who gets to play a delve creature with protection. And Street Wraith is the card which allows us to play those early delve creatures and/or shadows. Yes it can be a grind fest, but not maximizing those chances to get an early delve/shadow loses a lot of percentages to me.
4. Siding YP vs. affinity. I'm willing to cut a delve creature here, since it's doesnt really block well. Most of the affinity creatures fly, so YP doesnt block them. We cant go wider than them, since they are very likely to be faster than us.
5. Siding out Street wraith vs. storm. This matchup is all about speed, and getting those early delve creatures the better chance it is for us to win the match. Especially with feriocious. Yes, remand sucks, hence why i also cut an angler. But we're the aggressor, don't let them have the time they want.
I'd personally -Push +Bolt main, and have a surgical extraction to help with YP. I will try YP build in a local tournament this saturday myself, since Dylan was so hyped on it.
Feel free to criticize, we're all here to learn. And these are from my experiences.

I appreciate the feedback. Good to see various answers. And I really like the "don't get 2 for 1'd" mentality. Ill keep that in mind at all time
Hello ppl. I just had a game where I spent thinking for over 4mins. Or is there an obvious play and I'm just too inexperienced with the deck to know what do. What would you do here? I bolted face last turn. (colonnade should be grayed out)
I used collective with all 3 modes pitching push and lily. His hand was logic knot, snap, seas. Took knot, next turn, run kola into another logic knot, next turn snap bolt for win. Was I greedy? Is there another play which's better?
EDIT: Why the disapperance of spreading seas?
