Shattering the Gate Concept

but I really can't see how a unmasking deck can be faster than this. Only if the player has more than 4 unmasking in the deck or if he is very lucky.

The only one deck that really would prevent this combo to function woulb be imbued decks.

You do know you can't play 3 Shatter the Gates in one turn, right?

Yeah, that's right. But even with that, you can do it in a easier way than other decks. If you put up to 9 stg your predator / prey would have to keep an eye on you all the time.

oh I didn't know because the card doesn't say that directly. So the card is just like spell of life?

No, multiple baali can play one shatter the gate each, unlike Spell of life. It's not overly useful, but you can do it.

A vampire can't play two time the same action card, or bleed two time, or do two political actions.

The only way to do a speed shatter is abusing Enkil Cog (or similar cards). You play one on your turn, untap, play another one during your prey turn, untap, untap the Enkil via House of sorrow or something, and play the third one. Good luck.

yeah yeah, I have forgot that ;/

Maybe you could play some reversal of fortunes to do that even faster.

Maybe people have said that here before, but:
Enkil Cog.
Put one in Predator's Turn
Put one in your Turn, Freak Drive
Put one in Prey's Turn
Do this while playing one or two First Traditions with other vampires and become a hero.
