My take on the Blue Moon archetype.
4x Spreading Seas provides *even more* land hate, and in two important ways: 1.) SS can come down on turn 2, slowing your opponent while helping you dig for Blood Moon, and 2.) after you resolve a Blood Moon, SS can help shut down any basics your opponent may have access to. SS improves the Burn match-up especially, in which Blood Moon can be really mediocre.
Primary win-con is Batterskull, as it is virtually impossible to remove; but in the event you lock your opponent out of mana and they don't just scoop, any of your creatures will bring it home eventually.
