You'd have to explain why Luna hadn't killed everyone when she became Nightmare Moon, but that shouldn't be too hard. Maybe, like Sauron, she wanted to rule the world, not destroy it? You could make it so she killed thousands before Celestia imprisoned her, if you go with the "Alicorns can kill lots of people but not everyone" idea.
That's an excellent backup plan. Fortunately, with all the other replies in this thread, I'm unlikely to need a backup plan. That said, for the purposes of strengthening both sides, I'm likely to look for arguments to strengthen alicornism at some stage, and if that makes alicornism too powerful, I shall consider your idea as a way to bring parity back to the sides.
A world without a sun will die. It may take some time, however.
True, but Luna might not have been thinking straight, and might not have considered that.
I can imagine Nightmare Moon thinking "The idea that sunlight is better for plants than moonlight is one of Celestia's wicked lies."
