From the Part the Mistveil release notes

You may play this normally from hand or arsenal, even if you don’t control Runechants equal to or greater than its base cost.
You may only play this from your banished zone (using the Rune Gate) if this card is face-up in your banished zone and you meet the condition for Rune Gate (control Runechants equal to or greater than its base cost). You may still play this from your banished zone if another effect allows you to play it. You may not play this from your banished zone if it is face-down.
When you rune gate a card, its resource cost to play is set to 0 and then any effects that increase and then decrease resource costs are applied. E.g. if you have a Frostbite, you would still have to pay to rune gate a card.
Eloquent Eulogy only triggers if it is attacking on the combat chain when the combat chain closes. It does not trigger if it is defending on the combat chain, or if it has not resolved and become an attacking card (e.g. targeting a permanent with spectra).
The condition of whether any hero has lost this turn is checked at the time the triggered effect resolves.
Taking any damage, losing life from effects, and paying life costs (e.g. Flail of Agony), are all considered having lost life this turn.
If a hero has lost life, and then gained that much (or more) life in the same turn, a hero is still considered to have lost life this turn.
