2 toughness walls almost nothing in this set, but this is the card to get for color fixing. Any limited deck using 3 or more colors and has green wants at least 1 of these guys. I can imagine pauper formats wouldn't mind this card, as the gates are the only dual color lands at common that I know of, and this can fetch them.

This thing could have been a 0/3 and still would have been fine at common. I'm using it, but that thought will always be in the back of my head when I play it in my defender deck, and for that I'm disappointed. I love the hell out of what it does, but it's stats leave something to be desired. 3.5/5

When Gatecreeper Vine enterssssssss the battlefield, you may sssssssearch your library for a basssssssic land card or a Gate card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then ssssssssshuffle your library.

It's toughness is barely worth it. This set doesn't have many weak creatures in terms of power. BUT, the mana fixing is always relevant, especially in multicolored sets.
Card advantage is card advantage, even if that card isn't a spell.

I'd probably prefer a rampant growth or farseek or something. Costs the same but also puts the land onto the battle. This might be good if you got ways to flicker it in and out, or have tons of cheap reanimation.

This set has a lot of good defenders and this is no exception. Pros like me will be fetching lots of gates, that's for sure.

Gatekeeper Vine = (Rampant growth + 0/2 Defender)
So Rampant growth is now not a wasted card any longer.
BOOM.

It'll be an essential part of Dragon's Maze.dec, maybe with some flicker. Aw, who am I kidding, Dragon's Maze won't be a deck.

This card, and gates, were made for limited and casual play. You aren't gonna see a lot of this in top 8 decks, but you will see this and the gates in a lot of multi-color kitchen table decks. Cheap mana fixing is what magic has needed for years. Now everyone I play with will have access to 3+ color decks.
