How well positioned would you say it is in the current Modern Meta?
Why would you consider running Blue Moon, if you can run Spliter Twin, which essentially is Blue Moon but in addition has a two card "I win"-combo?

@ChiefBell U/R Delver has widly fallen out of favor with the banning of Treasure Cruise so clearly the best U/R deck out there (maybe even the best modern deck right now) is Splinter Twin

It's definitely holding steady in the Tier 2, possibly 1.5 range. As Chief mentioned, it can go either way against Abzan. If they get basics out early then you'll have a problem, but if they're laying out shocks/other non-basics then you'll have a good time when you drop the Moon.
It also has good matchups against Bloom Titan (since they only run one Forest), Tron, and somewhat the Grixis Delvers going around. However, without access to white for board wipes, decks like Merfolk, Hatebears, and Affinity (especially Affinity) stomp all over you. Burn is a meh matchup, and most control variants can go either way as well. Twin and Scapeshift aren't great, but you can still win...Sometimes.

Putrefy: Grixis delver is a top deck and is really, really close to host being straight up izzet.

I play blue moon right now. I think it is a fantastic deck at the moment. Blood moon is still great, and I love shackles.

Control isn't doing fantastically but faster tempo decks such as delver are. I mean it's not awful at all but slower control decks have poor matchups against both abzan and aggro. That said blood moon is amazing against abzan and tron. So its a bit edgy. It has good points and bad points. Like any deck I guess.
If you want to go izzet, delver is currently the top rated option. Blue moon is not bad though.
