Some Gate cards are clearly best when played late in the game. Cards like Naga or Oberus are obvious examples. These cards give a bonus for each Ability, or Gate card, in EVERY used pile, an affect that will have a much bigger results when placed later in the game.
Additionally, this strategy can be ridiculously powerful in a 4-player game as the number of used piles and total used cards are up to twice as many as a regular brawl.
So get to know your Gate Cards, and strategize to get the maximum benefit from their affects by thinking about timing.
