If you took the time to get the list from Star City, I don't understand why you didn't just look at the rest of the decklists to find out what it was aiming to beat. As far as I know though, there have been no articles on the deck other than some brief top 8 coverage.

I've been goldfishing it and playing it against a more diverse field (as well as a bunch of Stax.  hate @ Workstation players).  I'm cooking up an article looking at its strengths and its weaknesses, so if you can want, you can PM me and I'll give you my thoughts on the matter.  I'm also trying to cook up something a little better, using the same sorts of tech:

Basing an article on playtesting vs. MWS players is not such a good idea. Before you write anything, it's a good idea to play against competent players, and MWS scrubs barely qualify as players, let alone completent.

Just look here here.

If you want to get some real testing in head to the TMD mIRC channel, someone there will want to play, and the time spent playing will actually be worth something.
