Guildgates are disappointing. I get why they're there, but we already have the ten duals between the Core set and ISD, plus 5 shocks, and now 5 ETB tapped duals? Would have much preferred some sort of signet.
I LOVE the guildgates. Common dual lands are always welcome, and the fact that they have a mechanically relevant subtype makes them more than just "budget duals" when you have things like Gatecreeper Vine around.
Grisly Salvage is ridiculous. Amazing cards among bad decisions, so I think I can overlook the travesty of making two complete sets of duals and making Dreadbore rare.
EDIT: Really? Transguild Promenade is just Rupture Spire with a different name. Why?

You say you understand, but you make no mention of Limited. Gates show up on other cards, but that was a nice bonus to the Limited mana fixing.

It's a multicolor set. If it didn't have those nonbasics you'd rip your hair out in limited.
Also, you can't really put it on Ravnica and still call it rupture spire.

Check out the thread for my cube if you have the time, and tell me how terrible it is.
Generals meant to be drafted first in a single pack of 6 cards.
And here is the actual cube, meant to be drafted in 4 regular sized packs. (60 card decks)

Probably vorthos reasons. There aren't any rupture spires in Ravnica.

When it escaped, the experimenters hesitated. It would cause untold havoc, yet they wished to see it in action.

there's a cycle of "Guildgates" that are "Land - Gate" on their typeline. They ETB tapped and tap for a mana of one of the two guilds' colors.

See Golgari Guildgate. Common dual lands that enter the battlefield tapped and have the Gate subtype.

In Limited they will.
Like I said, a common mana rock cycle would have been preferable.
