The kid had to read the card when I killed Gris with it haha. Was it just horribe matchups? Thoughtseize and Victim of Night were the best performers of the night. What gives? I wanted to throw the deck out the window! As a whole, however, the deck never felt very powerful. BOB was solid when he stuck around as usual. He then Entombs for Iona and I weep when he calls black the next turn. BOB and the Gatekeeper peck away for a few turns before he dumps Gris into the graveyard and I zap it with the Faerie.

I use Thoughtseize to get a few early Brainstorms and Ponders out of his hand but he draws into the spells he needs. I make him sac it AGAIN but he brings it back a third time!! He just stomps me down till I die. Game one I Victim of Night Gris before he brings it right back the next turn. I lose a close game and never drew my Plaques. I could have gone for lethal but I had no way to kill Percy. My BOB whittled my life down to like 8 and BOB/Percy get him down to 6. Game two he gets mana screwed and I Waste his only Taiga so he starts very slow. A Sharpshooter wiped out all my tokens and BOB in one turn for example while I'm dropping a Gatekeeper to kill a Matron. Eventually he gets a Ringleader and I can't keep up with the removal. Game one he drop Lackey and I Innocent Blood, etc. Now sure what else I could have done as my discard and Thorns (which I never drew) didn't even slow him down. He still goes off turn three with Candleabras and I lose. I sac my own Bob turn two and nail two Wishes. Turn one I Cabal and call High Tide.and miss. Game 2 I SB in my Thorns and still manage to get a hand full of Gatekeepers and Nighthawks.

I did manage to Thoughtseize him turn one (I got a High Tide) but turn two he FOW my Hymn and my lone BOB sat there and watched me lose. Round one I go against High Tide and I sit there and play with myself while he goes off on turn 3. So I took The Gate to a local 12 man tounry tonight.AND IT SUCKED! I'm not sure if it was the matchups or just awful hands but I got ass-whooped in all three rounds.Īll in all a pretty typical Gate deck.
