Hi there,

I've been working on Blue Moon. I've elected for a flash creature strategy over a full prison lock with Karn, as I feel the flash strategy makes us tap out less so we can leave up interaction and gives us the ability to race when we need to by flashing in fliers on their end step.

There's a bit of a combo in the deck with Chandra, Awakened Inferno not killing Subtlety with her -3.

The reason we don't play some of the powerhouse red cards such as Ragavan, Expressive Iteration, and Fury is that they require us to tap out, which we really don't want to do for most of the game. Also we don't have enough red cards to make Fury good, and playing more red cards would make our mana base more greedy with Cryptic and Archmage's Command. We can get by on having almost entirely islands.

Let me know what you think and what could be done to make it better!
