Creatures

0 // 3 This is unplayable if you don't have like 6+ gates, but if you do it's a pretty nice payoff. 0.7 1x in 33%

4 Medomai is pretty clunky, and needs a clear sky and a turn, but if it hits your opponent once, the game will usually be over. 3.8 1x in 33%

4 This can attack like mos ttwo mana 2/2s early, and then it can crank out a 1/1 for free every couple of turns once it can't attack anymore. That's pretty great. 3.9 1x in 33%

3.5 It's not always easy to transform him, although is indestructibility helps make it happen a little more often. The Planeswalker he becomes isn't really one who takes over the game, though. It's nice and can help you win, but it isn't going to turn the game on it's head or anything. 5 1x in 33%

3 This is a fairly formidable threat on it's own, and if you get it late you can buff a creature you already have in a big way, while also making sure you have some value left over. 4 1x in 33%

2.5 The Heroic trigger is strong, but it's hard to cast and super vulnerable when it comes down. 4 1x in 33%

1 // 3 This is pretty bad in most decks, but if you're good at loading the graveyard it's a pretty slid threat. 1 1x in 33%

0 // 2.5 This is a solid build around for gates decks, where it's virtually always a 2-for-1. 1.5 1x in 33%

1.5 A three mana 1/1 with double strike is way too fragile to be great, and paying 6 for +1/+1 and double strike doesn't really move the needle either. 1.4 1x in 33%

4 Typically, you won't be able to copy a creature that is worth the 6 mana you spend -- but if the Mimic makes it to your next turn and spits out a token, you'll come out ahead -- and if your opponent can't kill the Mimic, things will snowball in your favor. 4.5 1x in 67%

2 Wind Drake isn't that exciting, but it's sort of passable, and in the late game putting this on just about any creature makes it a major threat. 1.5 1x in 67%

3 This was a SUPER good common last time we saw it. If you're in Blue with lots of spells, you're going to frequently make this a two mana 0/3 that draws a card on ETB, and the fail case is a two mana 1/4 that helps you load the graveyard. 2.1 1x in 67%

2.5 This is a two mana 2/2 Flyer at worst, and with Gates in the format it isn't impossible for it to be a 4-mana 4/4 flyer or a 5-mana 5/5 flyer. 1.2 1x in 67%

2 This has okay stats, and the format has enough Enchantments for this ability to be relevant sometimes. 1.6 1x in 67%
Instant, Sorcery

3.5 Making a 2/2 for two is fine, and while the other two modes are more situational, they are both great in the right situation. 3.3 1x in 0%

2.5 Paying two for this feels pretty incredible, as it replaces itself and gives you some nice tempo. Paying 4 makes it a little harder to feel good about the tempo, but that's a passable card too. 3 1x in 0%

3 The Ambush is a mediocre removal spell, but having a land that can also be a removal spell is amazing. 2.7 1x in 0%

3.5 A land that can also counter spells is amazing. Basically, if you have this early you can hold on to it and hope to snipe a spell in the first few turns -- and once you need a land, it can do that too. 2.4 1x in 33%

2.5 It's efficient, but when it doesn't have Flash it's pretty bad -- since it means that your opponent will force you to deal with an attack before you kill their thing. 2.6 1x in 33%

5 This always gives you a great deal, and at instant speed! It can allow you to really devastate an opposing attack, or simply add so many bodies to the board that your opponent can never come back from it. -0 1x in 33%

3.5 This is a land that can also be a removal spell. Sure, the removal is conditional -- but if you draw this in the late game you're going to be very happy you didn't draw a regular land, as this is likely to kill something for two mana. The modality here is great. 3.5 1x in 33%

2.5 This is a more situational modal double-faced land, but it's always nice when a land has the potential to be a real card. 2.8 1x in 33%

2.5 If you can get the two counters, this ends up feeling really great -- especially in a format with Heroic. 2.6 1x in 33%

0 // 3.5 You need a graveyard deck, but if you have a good enough one this basically becomes Ancestral Recall. 3.4 1x in 67%

2.5 This is always a nice card selection spell, and in a format with plenty of Prowess and similar effects, it'll be solid. 2.1 1x in 67%

4 This is a very nice removal spell that happens to have two other useful modes. 2.9 1x in 67%

4 This is always an excellent Uncommon. It's very easy to destroy creatures with on most board states, and sometimes you even get a 2-for-1. 3.7 1x in 67%
Enchantment, Artifact

3 This is solid removal spell, though not shutting off static and activated abilities can be a problem sometimes. 3 1x in 33%

0 // 2.5 This is a decent gate buildaround, though not usually one of the premium ones you're after. It is nice that it gives you value whether you already have Gates when it comes into play or if you play them after. 3 1x in 33%

4 Instant speed Oblivion Ring is pretty sweet, as it means you're more likely to produce blow outs, and paying three to exile a creature is always good. 4.2 1x in 33%

2 This fixes your mana pretty effectively while also adding a body to the board. I wouldn't count on cashing it in for 3 cards, though. 2.7 1x in 67%
Planeswalkers
Lands

3 These offer great fixing, and the format has tons of gate payoffs, too. 2.4 1x in 67%

2.5 This is a bit clunky since you need to effectively spend a mana on it, but the gate typing definitely matters. 3.4 1x in 67%

3 These offer great fixing, and the format has tons of gate payoffs, too. 2.3 1x in 67%

3 These offer great fixing, and the format has tons of gate payoffs, too. 1.8 1x in 67%

3 These offer great fixing, and the format has tons of gate payoffs, too. 1.9 1x in 100%

3.5 The body you get is bad, but it draws you a card that usually fixes your mana. It's great fixing. 2.8 1x in 33%

3.5 This removes a creature from the equation for a whole turn, while adding a pretty solid body to the board. That's some seroius tempo. 2.7 1x in 33%

4 This at Common is pretty amazing! It gives you amazing fixing, especially if you're in a gate deck -- and it's almost always going to generate a 2-for-1. 3.9 1x in 0%

4 Without even trying, this will usually leave behind at least a 1/1, and by the later stages of the game killing this will result in a huge monster token. 3.1 1x in 0%

4 Instant speed Oblivion Ring is pretty sweet, as it means you're more likely to produce blow outs, and paying three to exile a creature is always good. 4.2 1x in 33%

4 This can attack like mos ttwo mana 2/2s early, and then it can crank out a 1/1 for free every couple of turns once it can't attack anymore. That's pretty great. 3.9 1x in 33%

4 Medomai is pretty clunky, and needs a clear sky and a turn, but if it hits your opponent once, the game will usually be over. 3.8 1x in 33%

4 Even casting this for 4 or 5 mana feels pretty good, and his activated ability can generate insurmountable value. -0 1x in 33%

4 The attack trigger counts itself, so even if it's all alone it attacks as a 5/4 trampler, and there's a good chance that you have plenty of other cards that this makes much better. 4.3 1x in 33%

4 A two mana 0/2 that loots for free is a great Limited card, and this one has the ability to turn into a very relevant Planeswalker. 4.6 1x in 33%

4 This is always an excellent Uncommon. It's very easy to destroy creatures with on most board states, and sometimes you even get a 2-for-1. 3.7 1x in 67%

4 This is a very nice removal spell that happens to have two other useful modes. 2.9 1x in 67%

4 Typically, you won't be able to copy a creature that is worth the 6 mana you spend -- but if the Mimic makes it to your next turn and spits out a token, you'll come out ahead -- and if your opponent can't kill the Mimic, things will snowball in your favor. 4.5 1x in 67%

5 This always gives you a great deal, and at instant speed! It can allow you to really devastate an opposing attack, or simply add so many bodies to the board that your opponent can never come back from it. -0 1x in 33%
