Hold the Gates
Enchantment
Creatures you control get +0/+1 for each
Gate you control and have vigilance.

"We grew up on these streets. We know
them better than any Boros grunt from Zelzo."

Read it as an instant at first, thought it was horrible. pretty awesome as a permanent.

For more than Serra's Blessing , you get half a Glorious Anthem in addition to vigilance for all your creatures. Not bad.

Could be a lot more than that since the +0/+1 is for each gate you control.

I can see this being Gatecrash's equivalent of Doorkeeper . The card that everyone tries to draft around once, usually ending up with a stinking pile of 0-2.

heh you're probably right there, but it's worth noting that this fits right into the enchantments archetype once we draft RTR/GTC/DMZ. If you're going for the durdly enchantment deck that stalls the game with Sphere of Safety, you could do worse than adding +1 to your ethereal armors and Sphere of Safety and letting your guys stay back to block.

To be honest, I wish we could draft some combination of RTR/GTC right now instead of 3x GTC because of all the sweet interactions between the two sets. There are enough "gates matter" cards in GTC that I can see myself drafting the gimmicky gate deck and being overcome w/joy as I submit, then never draft it again after I 0-2 first round.

I think I'll rebuild my soldier deck so they all have an activated tapping ability
TLDR
