Prices are the latest nightly market price; a printing with no tracked price shows a dash. Dealer buylist is Card Kingdom's current offer via MTGJSON, shown where one exists.
Legality is a property of the card, not the printing, so it is identical for all 3 versions.
Official Judge Precedents
2 PrecedentsYou can tap any untapped creatures you control to activate Cryptic Gateway’s ability, even ones you haven’t controlled continuously since the beginning of your most recent turn.
The two creatures you tap to activate the ability don’t necessarily have to share a creature type, but the creature card you put onto the battlefield must share a creature type with each of them. For example, you could tap an Elf Wizard and a Human Warrior to put an Elf Warrior card onto the battlefield.
