Strategy

"Bant Gates" is a Pauper deck in Magic: the Gathering that focuses on utilizing Gates cards to ramp up mana, control the game, and eventually win through powerful spells or creatures. The deck aims to establish a strong board presence and control the game until it can overwhelm the opponent. The strategy of "Bant Gates" revolves around using cards like Citadel Gate, Basilisk Gate, and Sea Gate to generate mana and fix your colors. Squadron Hawk and Open the Gates help you find your key pieces, while Journey to Nowhere and Dawnbringer Cleric provide removal and life gain, respectively. Counterspell, Prismatic Strands, and Spell Pierce offer protection and disruption to control the game. The good points of the deck include its ability to ramp up mana quickly, its strong removal suite, and its ability to outvalue opponents in the late game. The deck can also be quite resilient against aggressive strategies due to its lifegain and control elements. However, the deck can struggle against hyper-aggressive decks that can go under its control elements. It can also be weak to artifact and enchantment removal, as some of its key cards rely on these permanent types. Additionally, the deck may have a harder time closing out games quickly against combo or control decks. Overall, "Bant Gates" is a versatile and fun deck to play in the Pauper format, offering a mix of ramp, control, and value strategies. With good piloting and sideboarding decisions, it can be a competitive choice in the right metagame.
