What are you running? I'm using a Deploy list with 3 fatties at the moment.

I've been trying to build for his energize ability, mostly building to work up to his ultimate and quickly close out the game. I'm missing a few key cards from the block that I think will really do well for him, and free up a card slot of two. Looking at Aethersquall Ancient as a possible card, though I realize it'll hose my end game strategy, Dynavolt Tower, and Deadlock Trap for possible cards if/when I get them.

Current list includes

Creatures:
Electrostatic Pummeler
Multiform Wanderer
Janeet Sentry
Aetherstorm Roc
Empyreal Voyager

Spells:
Exert Influence
Saheeli's Artistry

Supports:
Aether Hub
Claustrophobia
Suppression Bonds

I have a lot of disable the first creature effects as a result of my strategy to beating Torrential Gearhulk in last weekend's event since keeping the first creature disabled was a good strategy to dealing with an opponent that pops out servos every other turn.

Basic strategy is using disable to keep my opponent's creatures under control with Claustrophobia/Suppression Bonds/Janjeet Sentry while building up loyalty. I try to get out Empyreal Voyager as soon as possible since this is the real hero creature of the deck, and will always play Saheeli's Artistry on it to energize as much of the field as possible, which results in more control from disable creatures from Janeet Sentry and Aetherstorm Roc, and once I pull off the ultimate, it means a virtuous cycle of creature buffs on Empyreal Voyager to increased energy on the board, meaning easier to buff all my creatures, leading to even more energy on the field... you see the cycle. Also an added benefit means that adding energy to the field is a form of control. If the field is fully energized at the beginning of you opponent's turn, they can no use any loyalty abilities to create support gems.

Just bought Dovin, tried many different ways of playing him. Although fun, he is way too slow, it's still better to just play regularly treating him as a white/blue walker and using only his first ability. I made a spirit deck with rattlechains which was quite amazing.

Here is my standard Dovin build I've been playing for the last month or so:

Creatures:
Gisela, the Broken Blade
Empyreal Voyager
Visionary Augmenter

Spells:
Saheeli's Artistry
Confiscation Coup
Swift Reckoning
Enshrouding Mist
Chilling Grasp

Supports:
Consulate Surveillance
Suppression Bonds

It has worked surprisingly well but I figure that's the style of build everyone and their dog is going to be playing for the event... so I'm going a different route to keep the other decks off balance and their energy generation insignificant.

Creatures:
Skysovereign, Consul Flagship
Cataclysmic Gearhulk
Gisela, the Broken Blade
Scrapheap Scrounger
Lantern Scout

Spells:
Descend upon the Sinful
Saheeli's Artistry
Pieces of the Puzzle

Supports:
Vessel of Paramnesia
Vessel of Ephemera
