Because of the any time ability of the gates of hell this card it is incredibly broken, everybody knows this, but the purpose of this thread is to find playable deck ideas for the gates of hell. The best that i have heard so far is using a nearly hero less deck running angel at the tomb and green prophets with search and a load of stand alone evil characters and demon behind the idol to recur none demons so the point is to retrieve new Jerusalem and then using gates of hell to almost time out over and over until the deck is milled and then use angel at the tomb to put son of god back in to deck to score 2 and then hope that your prophets rescued at 3 or just go for a time out. So with that i leave the floor open to everybody else to post ideas for gates of hell.

A good combo is use Bronze Laver to put a bunch of Demon's beneath your deck and then Spam gates til you get them all back. So you effectively draw a bunch of cards for no cost. But its not really a deck, but it could be helpful in a deck using the card

Most of that made hardly any sense to me...Gates is not broken--you can do the thing where you place a bunch of demons on bottom with Laver, but then once you bring them back they aren't in your hand anymore so its not like you can do a large number of them over and over... think you're overreacting just a bit...

I suppose if you have NJ and three souls and are just waiting for SoG, you can essentially discard your entire deck, and attack with Angel at the Tomb to put SoG back, now on top of your deck. So it might be a nice strategy sometimes...but certainly not broken by any means.

This card is absolutely broken, but I won't say why unless someone else is silly enough to post the combo.

redemption99 · « **Reply #5 on:** August 02, 2009, 03:16:12 AM »

i don't think anyone is gonna post a combo they could win with next season ;P

I will have a deck posted in two weeks (ill be gone but I have the deck finished right now) that discards your whole deck with Gates of Hell in one turn and it works! I think :p

Our first idea involved a defenseless 500 card T1 deck...

OH man, now minister polarious has me curious i do agree that this card isnt broken unless you know how to use it but it is pretty great

Colin Michael · « **Reply #9 on:** August 02, 2009, 04:19:20 PM »

Oh, it is broken alright, but it is cool because it opens up a new deck archetype.

Fo show

LukeSnyder · « **Reply #11 on:** August 02, 2009, 04:30:35 PM »

I personally can't wait to see how people use this card.

Alex_Olijar · « **Reply #12 on:** August 02, 2009, 04:32:00 PM »

I personally won't show people how I use this card until I beat them.

Hopefully at least.

if there is some way to get brass serpent in your hand you could heal all the heros you discarded right?

redemption99 · « **Reply #14 on:** August 04, 2009, 01:30:12 AM »

correct

I don't think it's completely broken. It has potential to set off a big combo but no one has shared anything yet so let's not assume anything. Especially brag on 'Hell'. If we start giving some credit towards a hell-bent card that's potentially praising satan if anything loserfer stinks and all his wannabe wanna win cards are broken. Broken in the sense that that'll be broken down and banished forever on that great day when the Lord returns.

It'll be interesting to see some theme decks or even a gates of heaven lol deck to fit a heaven theme deck. But the only thing I'd wanna brag and give credit to is Jesus Christ who has truely redeemed all of us. And thank God for godly men who care about the youth and the younger generations by creating a game with biblical roots.

Caleb, he was understandably uncomfortable with everyone talking positively about the gates of Hell. I understand and somewhat share his concern. And I appreciate his call to give glory to God, and to thank Rob for creating this game.

Then you respond by calling him insane.

Please think a bit more about what you are about to say ... before you say it

I am really interested to see the decks that come from this card. Can you really win if you discard your whole deck? hmmm... It seems a good combo with laver...maybe I'll have to try once I get my hands on these cards! :-)

Alex_Olijar · « **Reply #21 on:** August 04, 2009, 10:51:44 AM »

Great, now someone else from Pittsburgh wants it...this will be trouble. I need at least 3x for my decks! How can I trade for yours if you want them too?
