This is a Gates deck based on .

This focuses on a Gates/Landfall strategy using multiple land drops to gain value and close out the game with either a massive board presence from Scute Swarm or Maze's End.

I also sideboard Child of Alara with a High Market as an optional combination. This is more for higher level 4-player games where I just want my opponents to leave me alone.
