From discord chat:

:life chrysdials (demesne was thinking rolhope but nope)
:darkness vader (maybe too obvious?) or sofr
:gravity (gen) pugons sofr (maybe vader?)
:earth (gen) sofrwings rolhope 60-card-stall
:fire FIRESTALL MIRROR MATCH GOGOGO sovicle

Obviously this is all in flux, would like to get others' inputs

Test:
sovicle build (dials? mirror?)
rolhope vs earth
duo or bow for vader

Thread now has a deck for every matchup & is entered into sheet. Really feeling the pressure of only 9 dials/miracles

General Fire: Even with 4 miracles, it seems fairly good, although if we had the cards available, I'd make a few changes.  (the way we had it before we realized we'd overbudgeted miracles)  The only question I have is whether the lone SoD is better than a 3rd sanctuary (or vice versa).  I'm happy going with the split here for now unless someone has a reason not to.

Lieutenant Gravity: Seems good to me.  I'm not sure how fast this deck is (probably a lot faster than I think it is) but most of the typical gravity decks I think will probably struggle against this.  I was on gravity in war 8, and while admittedly we had a godawful starting vault, I think this would have been difficult to beat.

Tinker Earth: My baby... :)  As long as earth doesn't bring pulverizer, I'm feeling good about this one.  If they do... well, I still have nightmares about that card from war 4 team time.

Sideboard Darkness: I love the idea here of doing the sideboard thing with this.  Lots of possibilities for editing.  It's going to take a lot of skill-based decisions to figure out what to use after seeing what deck they bring after the first game.  (unless it's something really obvious, like they're a creatureless deck or whatever)  Only 12 quanta has me really nervous, though, even after round 2 and later where we can drop to 30 cards, but I am not sure what to cut for more quanta.  Also, we CANNOT remove three light cards when sideboarding, because that would leave only 14/30 remaining and thus be illegal, so be careful.  However, other than perhaps mirror shield, I don't expect that will even be something we want to do, anyway.  Also, there was some weird discussion about how upgrades work when using sideboard.  I won't claim to understand it, but I will say that whoever ends up with this deck should read those rules very carefully :p

Salvage Life: Definitely upped arsenic; not sure why we didn't have that before.

SoD in sov because we are using all our sancts already

Firestall: In testing the quanta is tight. I threw this together off the top of my head so if anyone can offer tuning please do

Silversune: sorry to drop a 12 upgrade requirement on you. Spending the 9k demesne gave on Damselflies may open up rushing Bronze for shards, hopefully we meet on discochat & can discuss cardpool & grinder decks
