Yes... yes... my five-color Guild Summit deck is finally coming together!
Jokes aside, Guild Summit is a legitimately powerful card if you can stomach the tempo loss of playing mostly ETBT lands, and having a potential untapped rainbow land that also helps you stabilize a bit is something I am legitimately interested in. I seriously doubt the gate deck will be T1 but it is something I will be brewing for sure and I bet it could take down an FNM or 2.
Gateway Plaza can tap for mana of any color. Heh, imagine if there was a card that makes all your nonbasic lands Gates in addition to their other types? Maybe an artifact named Gateway Project or somesuch. Now all we need is a WUBRG Ravnica legend to helm a flavorful Gates Commander deck.

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.
Nonono, WOTC, you don't build support for some of the worst duals in the game, you ignore them and pretend they never happened. This isn't how you do that.
If 5C Gates is your thing, go ahead and play it up. Me, I don't care for a deck that might as well say "In order to win, you have to have 12 cards that do nothing on the field that ETBT."
hmm, should it have been a gate too and say three instead of two ?
Yeah, should definitively have been a gate. That may in fact have pushed gates from being a terrible mechanic to an ok one, as having a gate that don't etbt is sorely missed. The gate mechanic generally wants to reward you for playing many gates, and playing a non-gate land in place of a gate seems like a terrible idea.
Land When Plaza of Harmony enters the battlefield, if you control two or more Gates, you gain 3 life.
t : Add C
T : Add one mana that a Gate you control can produce.

Give a round of applause

Many thanks to DNC at Heroes of the Plane Studios
Perhaps in the next Ravnica block

I'd be all for an Amulet of Vigor effect for gates, preferably on a creature.

Uh 5 color commander decks that involve Maze's End

This aint your girlfriends meta! This is a man's meta! TURBO META.
T1: gate
T2: this, guildmage, or that riot goblin, or emmara
Step 3: ???
Step 4: profit
Step 5: deposit profit in bank.
However, it should have also had:
If you control 3 gates, all gates get:
Tap : Create one mana of any color a land you control can produce.
Make ALL gates color flexible with this card
