How do you think dropping an early blood moon would affect affinity. I feel it would shut it down, because of the lack of enchantment removal, also because affinity uses no basic lands but requires different colors (especially black) for key cards like disciple.

I guess it would look kinda well. If only it got rid of the artifact part.

Well Affinity can drop a disciple first turn, while you hafta wait at least 2 turns (unless your moxing) to drop a bloodmoon. Nevertheless, it would still put a big dent Affinity decks, at the very least it'll buy you time.
Blood Moon: 3 turns.
Raffinity: Kills you on turn 4.

There are better 3-drops. Blood Moon is used in T1 to take out Landstill and dual lands.

yeah, that was my main concern, what about in an equally agressive deck, like GobB? the only concern would be that you miss the turn 3 warchief drop....
erm...

it would stop disciple of the vault but it would make them able to use shrapnel blast more.

Turn 3 Warchief? Gobbos get Warchief on turn 2.
And GBidding isn't good anymore.
And Nakamura, what are you even talking about?

they get it turn three if they fail to draw a prospector. The ideal turn is turn 2 but after playing it for a long time you will get it turn 3 more often then turn 2. And why isnt GobB good anymore, please elaborate.

Works 89.6% of the time. If your up against a blue deck you'll always run into a Annul, A Green deck you'll run into Creeping Mold, Natrualize, Cretures with the ability the ability to destroy them, Tranquility and some other cards, White deck you'll run into Disenchant and tons of it. So your plans are not so full proof.

And here folks we have the results of not reading the previous posts in a thread... In fact Im not even sure he read the title. Its pretty obvious that the discussion is on whether or not blood moon is an effective sideboard card vs. the affinity deck.
I know that it isnt a good sideboard choice against U controll, or non type II White, and it wouldnt be run against TaN (vs TaN you need to focus on the quick kill). But thats WHY it was for a sideboard choice it cant be MDed because it doesnt work against all decks. The question is would a turn 3 or turn 2 blood moon screw affinity or ravager affinity.
and where did 89.6% come from?
