About Cryptic Gateway
Cryptic Gateway, Artifact, designed by David Martin first released in October 2002 in the set Onslaught and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It see play in 1 format: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 81113.10. It's a key card in 1 combo.
A tribal deck, such as Elves, Goblins, or Merfolk, would benefit greatly from Cryptic Gateway as it allows for quick creature deployment based on creature types. While Cryptic Gateway is a solid inclusion in tribal decks, some may argue that cards like Aether Vial or Collected Company offer more consistent and versatile creature deployment options. However, Cryptic Gateway can still be a powerful tool in the right deck and is worth considering for players looking to maximize tribal synergies.
Rules
10/04/2004
For this to be useful, either both creatures have to have a common creature type that the one in your hand also has, or the card in your hand needs to have at least two creature types so each tapped creature can match a different one.
