I personally think Gate Guardian is a lost cause, but let's have a look at these.

Sanga provides some nice early-game field presence, and gives you one extra defensive effect. Very nice card for the set. I believe Gate Guardian gets 5050 ATK from its effect?

Suijin is a nice revival card. Good for Xyzs. Very good defensive effect. Gate Guardian pretty much becomes a game-winner with the effect.

Kazejin... Combo forming! Set this, it's destroyed and I summon Sanga, NS Suijin and tribute all 3 for GG.

I would use these in a ritual deck. Gate Guardian still doesn't seem practical with these.

Interesting idea.

Guess you'd have two of these each and one of its bigger proper version for a deck where GG becomes more worthwhile.

However these are probably a bigger benefactor to Monarchs. That's no bad thing.

Think they are quite good overall.
