Simic Guildgate

The Simic Guildgate was originally introduced in the Dissension set of the Magic: The Gathering Ravnica block in 2006. It represents the Simic Combine, one of the ten guilds of the plane of Ravnica, which is defined by its focus on biological research, evolution, and the fusion of nature and technology. The card serves as a utility land that taps for either green or blue mana, reflecting the guild's signature color combination while requiring the player to accept the drawback of entering the battlefield tapped.

This specific iteration, featuring collector number 378, appeared in the Modern Horizons 3 Commander set. The design utilizes the iconic architectural aesthetic of Ravnica, characterized by organic, flowing structures often integrated with living flora. These gate cards were designed to provide accessible mana fixing for multi-colored decks, and the artwork by Titus Lunter for earlier versions—and subsequent interpretations in later sets—has been noted for effectively grounding the player in the vibrant, bio-industrial landscape of the Simic territory.
