I run a school league at my school and had a question from one of our kids about this.

How do multiple blessings interact with the power "gate of infinity"

As far as i can tell if you use the GOI to deep strike then the unit has moved ,
So is it correct that you can no longer cast any further blessings because a unit has moved as it is no longer the start of your movement phase.

if deep strike isn’t a move does that mean you could chain DS 3 zoanthropes if you were lucky enough to get GOI on each of them?

how does a tervigon power interact with gate of infinity, can he DS and then spawn?
can he spawn before he uses GOI to DS.

It can move no further in its movement phase. You can continue to use blessings.

You could chain GOI with 3 Zoans in the same brood, however its pretty risky.

This is debated issue and probably will have to wait for a FAQ to answer. Ask your opponent.

You need to use Spawn before you moved.
Using gate makes you count as moving.
So you can't Spawn after Gating (because you've moved), and you can't Spawn before Gating (because Blessings need to happen first).
So basically, not Spawning and Gating in the same turn.

Not so sure about that. Both happen at the start of the movement phase. And for things that happen at the same time the controlling player decides the order, so you should be able to Spawn then Gate. Gating then Spawn is probably out as gating counts as moving and you have to spawn before moving.

Spawn doesn't happen at the start of the turn.
It happens before it moves, which can be any time during the movement phase.

The issue comes in that the rule states you can move no further during movement phase. It doesn't exclude that model from having a movement phase. It can still legally move 0" during movement and can legally disembark from a DSing vehicle. It counts as moving for shooting purposes.

Again its a debate that needs a FAQ.

The deepstrike rule makes you count as moving. This would stop any futher movement (so no, moving 0" would not be legal. You've already moved).
In a similar regard, you can't then spawn (you must do this before moving) because, as before, you've already moved.
No need for an FAQ, following the normal sequence of events you simply can't gate and spawn in the same turn.
