We haven't decided how to report testing results yet. I'll set a precadent by posting 'em here:

Vs Aggro-Workshop:

Record in matches: 5-1
Match 1:
G1: Splatted by juggies.
G2: Destroyed all his mana, cleaned up
G3: Oppo mulled twice. Rootwalla beats
2-1
Match 2:
G1: Turn 2 7/10
G2: Tight win
G3: He got a broken draw
1-2
Match 3:
G1: I was too fast and screwed his mana.
G2: Opponent manaflood
2-0
Match 4:
G1: Stomp
G2: More manaflood for him.
2-0
Match 5:
G1: Very tight. Wonder won it.
G2: Resolving Null Rod + E. Flux + Oxidize = Game win
2-0
Match 6:
G1: He mulliganned twice
G2: He got a broken draw
G3: I misplayed badly. Juggernaughts abandoned defences and let me win anyway.
2-1

We stopped at this point as we felt we had a fair idea of what went on. It's going against the plan, but I was tired and we were both bored. The matchup in general seemed to depend more on the Shop player's draws than Madness - lots of times Baron won or lost the game without much reference to what I played.

Game 1 seems to be somewhat in favour of the workshop player - pre board UG just doesn't have the tools to deal with the various threats presented. Post board it's much easier, Shop gets nothing amazing while UG gets Oxidize, Energy Flux, Ground Seal and BEBs, removing Wonder, Null Rod, Gush, Stifle and Deep Analysis. Null Rod goes out because Stacker-style decks don't seem to rely on their artifact mana all that heavily beyond turn 1.
Against 'bigger' shop builds with more expensive threats and explosive mana, it seems to be worth keeping Null Rods in and targetting the mana though - they are easier to destabilize.

All right, Lord Arcturus (sp) has joined and will be testing the Control Workshop build.  Also, I need everyone's e-mail adresses, so PM me them.
