'''Gate Cards''', formerly '''Gateway Cards'''{{No Source}}, are the playing surface used for [[Bakugan]] [[Bakugan Wiki:How to Play (Legacy)|game]]. The cards contain a magnetic plate in their middle which triggers the [[Bakugan]] rolled onto them to open ("[[Stand]]").
==HSP Board Game==Originally, Gate Cards appeared in the HSP format, presented in 4 four main types:* '''[[Normal_Card|Normal Gate Card]]''' - Those gate cards Gate Cards only modified power of your bakuganBakugan, without doing anything else. Usually had around 250-400 HSP;.* '''[[Character Card]]''' - Just like the normal cards, those did provide extra power to bakugan Bakugan of the specific type, while having lower HSP value - from 150 to 250;.* '''[[Command Card]]''' - Similarly to the character cards, Command Cards gave extra power and had other feature, this time being unique to each card effect, that could've turn the game into an unexpected path. Had HSP value between normal and character cards - 200 or 250;.* '''[[Special Ability Card]]''' - The most powerful, but least valuable cards. Unlike any other cards, they only have effect, that may change the game entirely, like reviving lost bakuganBakugan, freeze the battle or make enemy return gate cards Gate Cards they won to the field. Those cards never had more more than 150 HSP.
==Legacy Board Game==
Gate Cards (Series 2 rules) come in three colors:
* '''[[Gold Gate Cards|Gold]]:''' Provide additional bonuses based on type of [[Bakugan]]. They replaced the original [[Character Card]]s.* '''[[Silver Gate Cards|Silver]]:''' Basic Gate Cards. They replaced the original [[Normal Card]]s.* '''[[Copper Gate Cards]] (sometimes called Bronze):''' Gate Cards with unusual abilities. They replaced the original [[Command Card]]s.
Gate Cards give bonus [[G-Power]] to based on their [[Attribute]] ([[Pyrus#Legacy|Pyrus]], [[Aquos#Legacy|Aquos]], [[Subterra]], [[Haos#Legacy|Haos]], [[Darkus#Legacy|Darkus]] or [[Ventus#Legacy|Ventus]]), with one attribute getting a "highlight bonus".
Cards may be Common or Rare, and there are special cards only available in the Arena product.
===Gold Gate Cards===
Gold Gate Cards often give a [[Bakugan]] a [[G-Power]] bonus once a certain condition is filled. Many of these cards are [[Bakugan]]-specific, meaning that if you want them to work properly, you should at least stock one of the stated Bakugan on the Gate Card (the name of the Bakugan will usually be the name of the Gate Card).
 
These cards replace the Bakugan [[Character Card]]s from the original series.

===Silver Gate Cards===
Silver Gate Cards are a type of Gate Card framed in Silver. They are the most basic Gate Cards and only a few of them have text. When looking for these cards it is important not only to consider putting in a Gate Card that give you a high boost, but also not so great boosts for your opponent.

===Copper Gate Cards===
Copper Gate Cards, (sometimes called Bronze Gate Cards), are a type of Gate Card that you can only have one of in the game. These cards have a variety of different effects and they are very valuable in the game. Many of them are helpful to [[Bakugan]] with low [[G-Power]] but high G-Power Bakugan can make use of Copper cards as well. These cards can change the game for you and easily put you back in the game if your losing by maybe giving you an Ability Card or letting you win an easy round. Copper cards are very valuable in game so choose wisely. These cards replaced the [[Command Card]]s from the original series.
 
====Trivia====
*These cards have changed color shade each season, except for season 1 to 2.

===Bakugan Dimensions===
In [[Bakugan Dimensions]], Gate Cards are special Moves that set special conditions over the field. They dispel any Gate Cards before it when played and usually last about as long as the typical defense. (Darkus Gates are an exception to this rule as they will only dispel non-Darkus Gate in play, rather than dispel all Gates period. This means you can have multiple Darkus Gates in play at once.)
