[Deck] Best workshop deck

[bel_riose]

Workshop deck can go from totally aggro (TnT) to totally control (Lock&Stock or Welder MUD).

I experienced a lot of play with TnT and now I use either TnT or an aggro-control version of lock and stock.

Now I post three decks I like and I need your advice of which of these are the best.
I would like to say I'll not play the full control UR L&S, 'cause I'm an aggro player.

1st: Aggro-control L&S
4 Wooded Foothills
1 Tolarian Academy
2 Mishra's Factory
4 Mishra's Workshop
3 Wasteland
1 Strip Mine
5 Mountain
1 Black Lotus
1 Mox Sapphire
1 Mox Ruby
1 Mox Jet
1 Mox Pearl
1 Mox Emerald
1 Sol Ring
1 Mana Vault
1 Mana Crypt
1 Grim Monolith
4 Juggernauth
2 Su-Chi
1 Triskelion
3 Metalworker
1 Platinum Angel

I like this deck. Great mana resilience. But can it resist without welders?

My metagame offers:

hulk smash
UR gay
madness
UR lock and stock
dragon
some sligh, sui black, parfait

Give me your opinions!

Why are people advocating Tangle Wire and Smokestack mixed with Tubbies? That doesn't make any sense to me at all. I suggest you scrap all 3 decks and just play Trini-Stax (With Meditates) or regular wMUD. MUD is reasonably playable with out Goblin Welders, you give up Welding goodness for a superior Manabase and more lock parts (Damping Matrix) and probably MD wOrbs

Don't post in red ever.  That is the color for mods to use.  I'm not sure if that is on the rules or not but just don't do it.

Next time, just report the post. I fixed it.

Red is indeed the moderation color. And this is basically just decklists without discussion. That means I have to move it.

because tangle wire is very very good after a first turn fatty since it will deny them of any 2 cc removal until they're dead. also it is useful to keep control off mana drain mana.  so that's the reasoning behind wires in tnt... although imo that's not the way to go right now

of your posted lists, the first one has 61 cards with 30 mana sources plus 3 Metalworkers.  This is a LOT of mana, and i'm not convinced that you need it all.  To get to 60, perhaps cut the Voltaic Key.  You said you're not playing that list right now, so I'll skip the rest, but i will say that other lists you posted are better than the first one.

I like your second list better.  You are running 28 sources, and i think you can drop to 27, but only if playtesting shows that you can still get what you need.  For testing, I would suggest dropping 1 Forest in favor of a 4th Taiga.  See if your mana curve is still good.

Also, since i'm a fan of Mana Crypt, I think you can benefit from the acceleration offered by it.  You can replace the Grim Monolith.  Since you are running Welders, you can get rid of the crypt at some point, in exchange for a creature in the graveyard.  I understand that Grim Monolith gives you a place for your Su-Chi mana, but this is an aggressive deck and your opponent should be pressed against the wall as much as possible.  Dont worry about the mana.  Just crush the opponent.

In the 3rd Deck, Damping Matrix will shut off your Metalworkers.  While i do believe that there are times you can play with cards that shut you down as well as the opponent, this one seems too harsh in the deck (especially since you are not playing Welders here).

MUD is an excellent deck (originally designed by Thug and Tindemans).

and here is a link to the MUD articles on StarCity Games:

Part 3: http://www.starcitygames.com/php/news/expandnews.php?Article=5975

This info should give you everything you need to make a mono-brown version.  Use the primers to decide on a deck-base, and then look at the new cards available and try to make the deck better.

In the meantime, if i had to choose between the 3 decks you posted, i would play the second one, making the changes i listed above.
