Surge Gate
The Gate for Raizan decks: each portal brings back a used Weapon from your discard pile for free, up to the portaled entity's Gate Power.

How to play it
- Gate Power picks the Weapon. Gate Power 1 returns Hidden Dagger or Lightning Shuriken, Alpine Prowler's 2 returns Tenshin, and Indra's 3 can return Lightning Kanabō.
- The portaled entity has cooldown. Put the Weapon on your leader to attack now, or on the new entity and pay 1 IKZ with your Raizan leader for Charge.
- Tenshin's On Play happens each time Surge Gate plays it, so every Gate Power 2 portal can deal 1 damage to a leader. Gate Power 0 portals return nothing.
