Reality Fracture Gates

A five-color Historic Gates ramp-control deck that tutors up Guildgates to power Gatebreaker Ram and Gates Ablaze, draws cards with Guild Summit, and uses the modal guild charms as flexible interaction while completing the Reality Fracture achievement.

• Circuitous Route fetches two Gate cards tapped, ramping your mana and directly increasing the size of Gatebreaker Ram and the damage of Gates Ablaze.
• Guild Summit turns every Gate you play into a card, so your ramp and land drops keep your hand full while Ram and Ablaze scale up.
• Gates Ablaze is a Gate-count sweeper that clears ground creatures; Archway Angel has flying so it survives the sweep and gains life equal to your Gate count.
• Boros Charm's double-strike mode lets a large Gatebreaker Ram close games in one swing, while its indestructible mode protects your team from wipes.
• The charms (Boros, Azorius, Selesnya, Orzhov, Izzet) give you instant-speed answers for nearly any permanent or spell, so you rarely lack relevant interaction.

Keep hands with two to three lands that include colored Gates plus either a ramp spell (Growth Spiral or Circuitous Route) or a Guild Summit. Mulligan hands with no colored mana, with only off-color charms and no fixing, or with an all-tapland draw that has no early action.

• Early: play Gates, ramp with Growth Spiral and Circuitous Route, resolve Guild Summit for card flow, and use cheap charms to survive aggression.
• Mid: fire Gates Ablaze to clear the board, land Gatebreaker Ram as a growing threat, and keep drawing off Guild Summit and Gates.
• Late: chain Archway Angel for large life swings and close with an enormous Gatebreaker Ram (double strike via Boros Charm) or evasive Angels, holding charms back for removal and protection.

All of the lands enter tapped, so fast aggro and combo can punish slow starts. Gates Ablaze is symmetric and can kill your own non-flying creatures, so sequencing matters. The deck struggles against heavy counterspell and non-creature combo decks, and removal aimed at Gatebreaker Ram can leave you without a fast clock.
