Making a 5 color gates deck. The idea is short sweet and simple, ramp out the gates and end the game with maze's end. The support for the deck I choose was landfall but explore could also work. Because it is 5 colors the deck is super flexible on how you want to run it. If you want more planeswalkers go for it, if you want to play the lands out of the grave sure why not, the possibilities are vast with what you can do.

I know there are more expensive any land tutors and other good staples card out there but I like finding affordable ways to play.
