[Official] Mindgate | Mindgate

[makapse]

to the original poster:
mindgate is not actually powerful,it just a very strong mirroring card.So,if you have 6SoD in your deck,the opponent will reach full hp(500) in no time.
At the same time,as others said,it can become powerful only if he has about 3 of them out,with the quanta required to drawn your cards continuously which,on an average takes about 10 turns.So,a rush deck has got a good chance of winning,even if he plays sundials and phase shields to survive till then(which can be destroyed,too).Plus,do you know about any good anti-FG mindgate deck that pawns more than any other deck?

To OP:
I fixed your post a bit, to conform more with the guidlines. (Believe it or not, you will get better replies if you stick to the regular layout, and use correct grammar ect)

If you are still looking for a response, I would add a poll with your suggestions on how to balance it.

To OT:
Personally, I think Mindgate needs no nerf.
You can't just put a mindgate in a mono aether, and call it a day. It needs good stall cards, and preferrably some control just to slow down their opponent untill it is ready.
If you can get a mindgate set up properly, with the quanta and ability to use whatever youre given, then you deserve the cards you get.
(It may be worth noting that Mindgate will get slowly weaker as more pillars are replaced with pendulums in duo/trio decks as there is no way of copying the mark)

If the advantage is of cards, why is Pandemonium not OP, since it is the equivalent of using chaos seed on all your opponents (and if you didn't plan too well, your own) creatures?

I've a question:
in the picture in the first post it suggests the duality ability costs 1 aether when upgraded. When I click on 'upgrade card' and hold cursor over mindgate it suggests it will still costs two eather. Was this changed recently?

The picture on the Forum was not updated when the change was made (during development last patch).  The Wiki has the correct picture, though.  It costs 2 .

Sorry for reviving this topic, but I didn't fell like creating one in the "Buff this card!" section, but wouldn't it be better to return this card to the original form? (4 cost 2 ability | 4 cost 1 ability)

I think it is comparable to hourglass.

I would even say 4|1 and 3|1. There is a reason this card isn't used competitively (even outside War)

[theelkspeaks]

I've seen it used effectively in rainbow stall decks in BL, even at current cost, but a buff might still be worthwhile.  Then again, buffing aether cards is the last thing EtG needs at the moment.

Wait am I hallucinating? Doesn't mindgate cost 5 ?

It used to be like the one in the OP for a short time.
