I paired Hei Lian with Hydromancy Gate instead of Rainworn Gate so I never run out of IKZ. Every portal untaps 2 or 3 IKZ, paying for Back Alley Abductor, Gabu, Drowncalling Siren and Puddle Abduction while still leaving 1 IKZ for Hei Lian to get +1 attack and swing! Huge W.
Displace blockers into the Alley, untap IKZ on portal, and swing with Hei Lian.
Hayabusa Itto grabs Mirage Frog or Submerging Tides, Inoe, Benzai the Merchant draws, and Sentinel of Passage, Usui shoves their 1-drop back. I put Gate Power 2 and 3 guys in my Alley.
Spend IKZ first, then portal Torrentstep Provoker, Kōga, Gabu, Vessel of Mizuryuu or Scorchland Raven to untap 2–3 IKZ and keep playing! Lotus of the Mizuryuu bottom-decks whatever keeps coming back.
After any displace, I pay 1 IKZ so Hei Lian swings at their leader (or 3 with Tenshin), while Siren, Inoe, Naiyara the Tideweaver and Mo close.
I keep Hayabusa Itto or Benzai the Merchant with a 2-drop and a Gate Power 2 body. Throw back hands of 4-drops and up.
Untaps IKZ up to the portaled entity's Gate Power — Scorchland Raven untaps 3!
Displace an enemy Garden entity, pay 1 IKZ, and Hei Lian gets +1 attack to swing with right away.
4/4 that displaces a base-cost-3-or-less entity on Garden entry and turns Hei Lian on by herself.
Bottom-decks any number of enemy entities with combined cost 3 or less for good.
Either a Gate Power 2 Alley body, or sacrifice it on play to bottom-deck a 4-cost threat.
