Notes
 
Paulo Vitor's Gates Deck

Gatebreaker Ram is what makes this deck tick, as it's a 5/5 on turn three, and can grow incredibly large thereafter. Guild Summit is also crucial, as it essentially draws you an extra card every turn (and even nets you two with Circuitous Route). The payoffs descend from there, but at its core, every card in this deck is a Gate, or a card that rewards you for having a lot of Gates.

This deck plays out like a control deck, though Ram and Colossus can present quite a fast clock. Hitting your Growth Spirals is critical, and that's one of the cards you should look for in your opening hand.

Paulo wrote quite a bit more on the subject here, and as always, he breaks down everything you need to know. Still, I don't need Paulo to tell me that this deck is a lot of fun - the cards in it tell me that.
