Lost again, this deck's 5th loss in a row. A three hour long, five player marathon. Aubrey refused to press his undeniable Hakbal of the Surging Soul advantage, especially after Connor board wiped the rest of us by copying a Volcanic Fallout. Aubrey, the following player in turn order, could've taken out his brother, Auren, on Koma, World-Eater, which was a tapped giant threat and the next biggest threat at the table. Jared and I had Propaganda and Sphere of Safety, respectively, dissuading and disallowing attacks. One turn cycle later, Aubrey tried to take back his Triumph of the Hordes, since he was tapped out and couldn't attack me or Jared. I successfully argued he couldn't take it back. He attacked and killed his brother...finally! I played Cyclonic Rift at the end of Jared's turn and Connor said he would counter it, even though he only had one creature out, his commander, Magnus the Red, while Jared and Aubrey had major armies. He said he had to go and so agreed not to counter, conceding soon after. Jared had about 30 mana with his Omo, Queen of Vesuva giving him the Urzatron, plus four Gates for Baldur's Gate, allowing him to spend 27 mana for a Marit Lage from Dark Depths. He killed Aubrey with it, surprising me by not taking me out. I board wiped with Sublime Exhalation but found my only out to a lethal Marit Lage was Enduring Ideal into Runed Halo. I staved off more attacks with Back from the Brink but couldn't withstand Jared's removal and pressure... Lost a very close, five-player game.

Thank you for your answer. And I have another question ^^. Do you think, that building a Mana Base, out of "Gate-Lands" could be promising? Gond Gate , Baldur's Gate and Citadel Gate, as well as others seem to have a promising Mana-output in my opinion. Although I do not think, that they can reach to the level of the Mana base you build. Just for consideration.

Cheers

You can be cute and do Ritual type stuff with Baldur's Gate, you can pump a dude with Basilisk Gate, and If you're running Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph you can do some sheniaghans with Crackling Perimeter also works with similar commanders like torbran

I have come to remind you that the Baldur's Gate set came out! Granted, some of these are slightly more expensive than a regular gate, but not by very much.

• Gond Gate is going to make your deck a lot faster. Like, a lot.

• Baldur's Gate. Need I say anything more? Won't help with your win condition, but it's still loads of mana.

• Citadel Gate, Sea Gate, Black Dragon Gate, , Cliffgate, and Manor Gate are just better than the standard gates.

• Basilisk Gate could protect a creature of yours if you're not ready for it to die yet, or if you want to swoop in for the kill. These three last ones are kinda meh, but they're here.

• Thran Portal is probably just not worth the 1 ping a turn. It's not crazy bad, but eh.

• Heap Gate is cool, but not super necessary.

Gond Gate and Baldur's Gate seem like must haves, as well as perhaps the Sea Gate cycle from the same set

Sorry to be the be area of bad news, but unfortunately the land side of double side cards is not the one that counts toward card type so Bala Ged Sanctuary  ^Flip is technically an instant card, not a land card. Speaking of lands, I know you’re building on a budget, but you can do better than thrive lands and life lands. A great budget way to do this would be going with gates now that cards like Baldur's Gate and Gond Gate make gates much better and the rest of the new gates are pretty much thrive lands but with gate synergies. Splurge on Maze's End and you even have an alternate wincon. Throw in Crackling Perimeter and Guild Summit and you’ll really be rolling. Also, a few basic lands are a good idea just in case someone uses Path to Exile or a similar effect on you it’s not wasted.

I totally get building on a budget, but there are ways to do so and retain playability.

No love for Baldur's Gate?

Hav0cD3m0n thank you for the suggestion!

Field of the Dead - I like the idea of this card as a potential win condition, especially with Scapeshift you could make a ton of zombies. But I personally think that it would be very difficult to time, and kind of hard to maintain with child. I think it generally breaks parity with how this deck is played.

Thespian's Stage, Vesuva - Now I really like these, and I've specifically considered Vesuva in the past, but I don't think they would fit the current list. Copying Maze's End can get us gates faster, but I often have to hold Maze's End in hand because of cards like Field of Ruin. Making copies of our Baldur's Gate, or Basilisk Gate seems good, but is it worth the slot? It's something I would have to test, but I can't think of any situations where I would want to tutor for it.

I really appreciate the input, and if you find yourself playing a copy of this deck anywhere for whatever reason definitely let me know your experience! I keep meaning to flesh out the description and add a serious primer. It's in the works, but I'm very very busy with work
