# Open the Gates Open the Gates is a straightforward common from Ravnica Allegiance that exemplifies the set's focus on mana acceleration and guild synergies. As a two-mana enchantment that searches for a basic land, it fills a familiar role in limited formats and casual decks seeking consistent mana bases. Collectors typically view this card as a functional reprint of similar effects rather than a standout piece. Its common rarity means minimal scarcity, though foil versions appeal to players building premium versions of limited decks or casual formats like pauper. The card holds modest appeal beyond gameplay utility, making it a bulk common for most collections.
