Me and my friend were wondering, is Thaumcraft Warded Stone impervious to the effects of Decay? It would make sense as it's "indestructable" But Decay takes over blocks... as we are testing on a server, we'd prefer not to waste resources to find out, so has anyone got any ideas???

So you want us to do your testing for you? I thought you didn't want to test on the server because "we'd prefer not to waste resources to find out" - if that was the case, testing locally would be perfect. It wouldn't take any more time, especially as you'd just turn creative mode on, give yourself the stuff necessary, and do it.
Don't you think it would be faster to test yourself instead of come on a forum and ask about it?
Not trying to be rude, just putting logic forward
Well... Warded stone is coded to not be broken by anything...
And decay is coded to break everything, even stuff that isn't supposed to be broken, soo...

Looks like there's gonna be a fight between warded stone and decay.
I hope it's a cage match
I wouldn't be surprised if it crashes your game and/or breaks the chunk - it probably won't be quite that severe, but just in case I'd reccommend trying it in a separate world.
So far from my testing:
Has to be in a Mystcraft age, won't let you place decay in overworked
The decay will eat the stone, but near instantly revert to warded stone. Only happened once, not sure if it will keep doing that or eventually break (I wish I could speed it up)
Here's what I have from my own testing:
-Decay will dissipate without breaking the stone most of the time.
-Otherwise it will clone the warded stone. The cloned stone is sometimes collectable. However, under further testing it is shown that it prevents the original stone and the copied stones from being broken by any wand.
-In order to get this bug- It may happen on its own over a longer stretch of time, (ie. a half hour). However I have seen it happen instantly by placing the blocks in this order:
[Key]
W= Warded Stone
D= Decay
-= Air
_= Any Block
_

And thus the OP has found rewards for laziness. Good job. 
See, I have this really indepth reply prepared, that answers your question with all the details, but see, I'm really WAY too busy right now, so I can't post it.
