Note: First, I acept any suggestions for these decks. Second, I am not fluent in english, I try my best, any correction I will be glad to modify.

I made this deck for use with the Schemes cards of the product Archenemy Nicol Bolas, released in June 16, 2017.

From my perception, all the gatewatch decks (Chandra, Gideon and Nissa) were failures. The decks weren't balance against Bolas, a lot of cards were usuless and it's bad in terms of lore.

So I made an upgrade with the power, sinergy and the lore, following the rules I set out bellow, for a more funny experience:

1. I didn't try to turn into competitives decks (like put a lot of rare cards), the goal is just have great times with balance games and funny cards, using cards that aren't used often.

2. I understanded why Nissa's deck was simic (because her HOU card, and they want you to buy booster), but I prefer changed, divided into 2 diferents decks: one monoG Nissa and the other monoU Jace. So, you just choose 3 of the 4 availables gatewatch's decks to defeat Nicol Bolas. I think this first step brings more diversity between one and other gameplay.

3. Each deck have 1 planeswalker card and I added the respective "Oath" card.

4. Each deck have a theme (like: Nissa landfall, chandra damage/phoenix, Jace draws/illusions) and a subtheme with +1/+1 counters.

5. I search for mechanics that can amplify the sinergy between the players like: "assist", "support", "surge", and a lot of cards that say "target creature" (not "target creature you control").

6. For the last, but not least, I put just 1 or 2 copies of each cards (rare cards just got 1), the objective is to "solve" that "problem" and defeat Nicol with those available resources, so I think this brings variability to the matches.
