I could imagine placing a [mwcard=MW1J07]spawn point[/mwcard] in a zone with an orb near your starting corner early in a match, then putting this gate at a choke point later on.  In that way, it's like a more versatile [mwcard=MW1J06]Gate to Hell[/mwcard] or [mwcard=FWJ04]Garrison Post[/mwcard] that isn't subtype specific.  It's even better, since you might have existing creatures guarding orbs that are no longer being threatened and can get them all where they're needed in one round.  Great for swarmy mages... and the fact it's Arcane isn't so bad since a Warlord is probably fine with a combination of Garrison Post and Hidden Tunnels (promo).

If you're playing a bigger board this card is crazy. I can see fast creatures using this to secure locations and move on to the next problem quickly. The fact that any orb (owned or not) allows you to teleport is good too. If you're a necromancer you could run multiple copies and lumber them over for massive damage.

There are not many conjurations that have a range of 0-2 zones. This should be fun to have in your spellbook.
