First, as always, I apologize if I copied anyone.  On to strategy: This is not a primary "damage" deck.  This is a "beat a fast deck", wait till they run out of cards deck.  Also, its a "get mastery deck)
Surprisingly effective.  However, can be used as damage too if your wardems get boosted enough I guess.
Goal: Get wardens out with patience.  But.... here are what the OTHER cards do.  Nightmare- good  stall card, can use it on SOf, wardens  or on opponent.  Remember, if they play wardens they still do not do attack.  Eternity/protect artifact- yeah, the card to stop the running out of cards.  Also useful for annoying creatures on opponent.  Umm unstable gas does much needed damage, dosent affect wardens cause patience, and kills annoyin 1 creature things on opp.  Rage Elixers- Booster or CC.  Heals- needed card, often they get round 30-50 dmg on u to start, plus helps get mastery.  Sofo- annoying shields.  Anti- CC again, and again helps for mastery.  You need patience for this deck, as games are long (ha got my pun?) but rewarding.  Suggestions would be helpful

Rage Potion > Rage Elixir, since it's possible to buff Wardens with the former but not the latter.

The use of Improved Heal is odd; this isn't really a fast deck. Something that gives healing over time might be better; Sanctuary is quite nice and you don't use :light in this deck. A similar argument applies for Nightmare.

Unstable Gas deals 1 damage to everything, conflicting with the use of RP to buff Wardens. 

Eternity is really, really expensive. Owl's Eye can do a lot of what Eternity would in this deck and is significantly cheaper; you don't need the ability to deck out because of Shard of Patience, though if you still want that as a secondary win condition you can just make the deck bigger. Vampire Dagger could also fit as another source of healing over time. Without Eternity, Protect Artifact is unnecessary.

The deck could use Fog Shield since you note that early damage is a problem.

There isn't enough stall in the long run. Without SoPa to kill creatures this deck can only stop six-ish creatures per turn (one Antimatter, six Wardens, and one Eternity, but you only have enough quanta sources to generate about 4 :earth per turn so you can only use four Wardens sustainably). I definitely suggest putting in another SoPa.

All of mwaetht's suggestions are spot on.

It appears you started with an idea and tweaked to a conclusion that worked.  Which works I do that too...  however, I often pause and say, is the basis of my idea even correct.  Is there a way of scrapping and doing it again.  I would rethink the deck on a whole.  As you stated it's an anti-cc deck, but it takes a while to get started.  This is why you probably have all that healing in your deck, now that you have all that healing though the only damage you got is SoPa, and a few side things, which is now why are forcing the eternity for deck out win.

OK guys thank you for the suggestion.  guess this deck was not the greatest idea... seemed to work but there are obvious flaws.  I will make a new, better deck in the future!

Perhaps this basis,
(Ran 6 games in AI4, all wins)
(Also just got 4 in a row in silver)
Thanks for the idea

I name thee: Pat Bowden

4(5) more attackers making SoPa a lot more effective.
2 sundials + Improved Fog + up to 14 points of heal provides solid defense
Pre existing anti -cc and anti- perm.
Web combo to take down flyers.
grav force + sofo combo for extra defense, and more anti-perm
