Cycle: Gatekeepers

The Dragon's Maze set includes a cycle of Gatekeepers with enters-the-battlefield abilities that give you a bonus for controlling two or more Gates.

When Opal Lake Gatekeepers enters the battlefield, if you control two or more Gates, you may draw a card.



The Gatekeepers’s ability is only checking for lands with the Gate land type. It doesn’t matter whether those Gates have the same name or different names.

The number of Gates you control is checked both when the ability would trigger and again when it tries to resolve. If you don’t control two or more Gates when the ability would resolve, it won’t do anything.

The bonus applies only once as long as you control two or more Gates. For example, if you control four Gates when Opal Lake Gatekeepers enters the battlefield, you may draw one card, not two.
