I can provide data from the 20 or so matches I played, but I am not going to post specific match results. I have root concerns about the testing for a number of reasons:
1) I beat some terrible decks. Some of them seemed like draft decks, and probably half the decks I played were not on anyone's tier list for being reasonable decks to play.
2) Many times my out was my opponent being terrible, and they did indeed take that out on a number of occasions.
Overall findings:
Metamorph was pretty reasonable against control, and pretty bad against aggro. I copied several Heroes of Bladehold, but against decks with Hero of Bladehold in them, having a Hero of Bladehold on defense is not great at all. Especially when they have Honor of the Pure and you don't. Especially when they have 3 guys out.
Arc Trail was not a blowout in any situation. I was used to Arc Trail saving me from my times playing Pyromancer Ascension, but it just really wasn't very good this time around. Honor of the pure, or just having two (or three) toughness guys was rough to deal with. I probably need Slagstorm for these matchups, or Whipflare, or something else in these slots. (Ratchet bomb?). Geistflame was "just as good" (aka "just as bad") in the matchups were neither was dead.
W/u Humans was my worst matchup. Their Feind Hunters, O Rings, Journeys did wonders against my "big creature" threats. They could also fly over to kill Koth, or just Hero + attack.
I lost to delver a couple times. You are really on the back foot in this matchup. You think you can be aggro, but Geist is so much damage, and Vapor Snag wreaks havok on Berserker/Noble.
Control matchups were wins. They have a hard time with Koth + Shrine + Metamorph + the rest of my deck randomly showing up with T5 kills. I need a better solution for those aggro matchups though.
I'm somewhat demotivated at this point, but I'll do some more testing this weekend, and see if I can find some real opponents, and figure out how to win those games.
