I think that the best fit for a gate deck is a type of turbo fog. What about thragtusk tusk. Druids deliverance, hinder vines and some defense should work well.

Fog could be also option but his idea about  {Sphere of Safety} has its own charm... If it would be played control wise then turn 5 you would be able to lock opponent... The problem with fogs would be that you could easily run out of fogs... And you need about 15 turns to set up gates for win condition... According to my playtesting...

Edit: Also I think there is no need for Pilgrims... I would rather play  {Sphinx's Revelation} and wipes there...

Hmmm that does seem a lot better.

Is there any way we could add cracklimg permitters to have a way to kind of bleed them out as a alternate win condition?

You can use extort on  {Blind Obedience} for that...
