Sweet, now every Guild can run eight Gates. Just wait for the Gate variants of Evolving Wilds, Radiant Fountain, and Holdout Settlement. Wouldn't it be grand if, over time, they added enough Gates that even one Guild could run Maze's End and actually win with it?

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
Interesting... Rupture Spire was just rare-shifted to uncommon; meanwhile this Gate version was kept at common. Wonder if Maze's End will get a reprint at rare... Obviously they want the Gates at common so they are easier to get in a limited environment. That begs the question why... hence my prediction of a Maze's End reprint or another reason at rare or mythic.
Also, Scapeshift is in standard... now that's a winning combo in Standard, heh...
Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!

Rupture Spire-like fixing is generally common because it's usually in multi-color heavy sets. M19 didn't fit that bill so it didn't need to be at common there. But M19 had 5 beefy Dragon boys at Mythic who, if you drafted them, would direct you to grab a few options for fixing if they went around the table. That's a great reason to have some extra fixing, but not a plentiful supply of it.
Honestly Transguild Promenade probably should have been a Gate back in RTR, it just... wasn't. But I am curious if 1-3 more Gates makes Maze's End viable (if it's around in this Standard).
If you're that hard up for fixing, I guess this is for you. I never saw the point of this or Transguild Promenade. ETBT and you have to pay a mana? That's a pretty steep price. Maybe if you slapped some landchantments on it it would be worth it but aside from that, nah.

Nice they kept it at common.
(A lot to update in my Ravnica cube.)

And I wouldn't be surprised if we get a few other gates in Ravnica Allegiance (not including the guildgates).

I’m so glad I won a promo version of the maze
Also, Scapeshift is in standard... now that's a winning combo in Standard, heh...
On phasing:
Hands to the sky

For the great Miss Y!
