Whoa, workshop decks were out in force there.

[Liiva]

Also 5 sideboards included a single Gaea's Blessing, so much for the painter/grindstone ownage

While Blessing is an annoyance its not the biggest deal from most decks as long as you can assume the control role.  Post-board you'll have access to Extirpate or can just win with Recall/Tinker->Colossus.  But Workshop Aggro is a pretty tough matchup especially post-board, I had a lot of trouble running Painter with Probasco's SB against Shop Aggro.  Theres a few ideas I want to test out to see how effective they are against the deck.  Unfortunately I haven't seen a lot of discussion about different boarding strats or what cards to take out in different MU's.
