How to play it
- Spend your IKZ first, then portal. It only untaps tapped IKZ, so portaling before you pay for anything gains nothing.
- You can play an entity into the Alley and portal it the same turn. Mizuki's Gate Power 2 brings her 5 cost down to 3, and Mizuryuu Fist Master refunds 3.
- Refunded IKZ can stay up for Shao or Water Orb on their turn. Gate Power 0 cards like Benzai the Merchant refund nothing, so play them straight to the Garden.
