Baldur's Gate really came in clutch for all the gate fans with giving more of them and giving a commander that actually care about them

I think building around keene's 9 gate clause is a red herring. Think of it this way, thats a minimum of 4 turns of swinging keenes and making semi consistent gate drops. You can start "popping off" with keene's 9 gate clause as soon as... turn 6 with a perfect hand. Yikes. And you'll have no blockers and be threatening commander damage. You're dead to the crackback. No, I think keenes is a clock in some flavor of budget control deck. The gate package is strong thanks to gong and baldur's gate, especially with more generic green land tutors like sylvan scrying, crop rotation, hour of promise and titania's command to tutor up the deck's secondary commanders: field of the dead, gond gate and baldur's gate. Thats right: keenes is just fair golos. We did it- we broke field of the dead! /s. The commander seems perfectly suited for leading an untap, combat pass style of control. I will also add that the gate tutors aren't necessarily good enough to warrant the deck slots because the deck is already good at finding the gates and specific lands without them and can tutor them on-curve with circuitous route and explore the underdark- nav orb, district guide and gatecreeper vine are out. Add in some extra creatures that create value through landfall (rampagin baloth) or combat damage (thief of sanity) and build the deck with more haste sources so that keenes ramps sooner rather than later...

I agree Keen isn't the best gates commander. There's no way she could be at only 3 colours. But I think Keen does a really good job of running a gate package alongside other strategies such as voltron or landfall. Even when she's not threatening 2-3 hit KOs, her combat damage trigger gives you good value for consistently hitting with her. There's more ways than Vorrac battlehorns to turn her Menace into unblockable, such as Alpha Authority and Familiar Ground. With the double strike you already want on her for damage triggers, she only needs +2/+0 to KO in 2 hits (hello Rancor). Edit: also Basilisk Gate can get her a lot of attack Sultai already has a million and one ways to do both value-town and/or landfall, so I feel like the voltron focus makes the best use of her specific combination of abilities.

No Strionic Resonator or Lithoform Engine for more combat damage triggers? You can also use them on the ward trigger: imagine an opponent targeting Keene, totally willing to pay 9 life, only to be told "okay, but now you have to pay 18 life instead!" 😈😈😈

For the generic land searchers you said you want gates so that’s what you’ll search but I’d argue you should search like reliquary tower for when you start drawing all those cards, or rogues passage so you can ensure Keene hits
