How to play it
- Rushfire Gate is banned in constructed play since August 18, 2026, so it can't go in a legal deck. Fire decks use Ragefire Gate instead.
- The free entity could cost up to the portaled entity's Gate Power. Portaling Tenmoku Daiki at Gate Power 3 let you play a 3-cost entity for free.
- The free entity's On Play still happened, and its end-of-turn sacrifice set off When Sacrificed effects like Crazed Arsonist's.

AezAez no longer plays this exact list since the Rushfire Gate ban; against Rushfire/Zero (the hardest matchup, often over in 5-6 turns) keep Sundering Strike ready and avoid dropping to 7 health by turn 5.
Azuki TCG Bans Rushfire Gate
quinnAt the game's first Regional, 6 of the Top 8 and all 4 Top 4 decks ran Zero with Rushfire Gate. The team said cutting the gate addresses the root cause of cards like Black Jade Warlord, that checking cheap Fire and Neutral cards against rush or sacrifice effects was boxing in design, and that it won't be reconsidered until other decks have a real answer.
