The creature that was targeted by The Black Gate's last ability can't be blocked by any creature the chosen player controls, including creatures that weren't on the battlefield when The Black Gate's ability resolved
While you cant spend life to cast Minor Misstep, it can target any spell with a mana value of one or less
Splinter, Hamato Yoshi Splinter, Hamato Yoshi has a very low sneak cost and lords with mana cost this low are consistently good in my book

There is more I would like to add, such as talking more about card advantage, but I've spent damn near close to an hour typing this so I'm gonna call it here
If this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyar while your opponent controls a monster(s): rbanish 1 Spirit monster from your Graveyard , summon "Sacred Fish Token" (Fish/WATER/Lv 3/ATK: 900/DEF: 900) equal to the number of face-up monsters your opponent controls.[/spoiler][/spoiler] P.s: Dear moderator(s), I have read your rules for posting in this thread, yet I still haven't fully understood: Can I add more cards to this thread in the future, or must I start a new thread
