Strictly better Gates for Standard (since we'll not get Maze's End back anytime soon)? Count me in.

I'm actually interested in what this means for Pauper. Currently the white blink decks run Kabira Crossroads which completely buggers the plan of Burn and slightly hurts the plan of Nivix Blitz. These could honestly push things like burn further out of the format.
Actually not sure if these aren't strictly worse than scry lands in standard. If there's a deck with enough top deck manipulation as is I can see an argument for playing these. Or even a 2 colour deck can play them and just have a naturally better game against whatever burn strategies show up. Obviously, 1 life isn't huge or anything, but multiple triggers of these can't be bad by any means. Just not sure if it makes up for the lack of scrying.
