==Cards== Gideon Jura appears on four cards. He has been called the [[Awesome|Captain Falcon]] of [[Magic: The Gathering]] in that his abilities resemble some of the Captain's famous lines/moves. This is also because of his skill in hand-to-hand combat, as shown in the picture above where he murdered a lot of Eldrazi with his bare goddamn hands. {| class="wikitable" |+ All of the Gideon's ! Card ! Expert Commentary |- ! [[File:Gideon_1.jpg|100px]] | First there is Gideon Jura, costing 5 mana for 6 loyalty, making one of the more survivable planeswalkers. His +2 is COME ON, where all creatures target players control attack Gideon if able, making for a nice [[DISTRACTION CARNIFEX|distraction]]. The second is a FALCON PUNCH costing -2 and destroys a tapped creature. As his "ultimate" (that is free if I may add, the only Planeswalker to have this) he runs onto the battlefield and knees someone in the face, in the shape of a 6/6 Human Soldier that prevents all damage done to him. This does not make him immune to Infect, so he can be [[Wat|a Planeswalker with -1/-1 tokens on him that do not affect him otherwise.]] If I may interject, this is false. If damage from a source with infect that would be dealt to a creature is prevented, that creature doesnโt get -1/-1 counters according to official Wizards erratta. |- ! [[File:Gideon_2.jpg|100px]] | The second is Gideon, [[Paladin|Champion of Justice]], a 4 for 4 deal. Like his earlier version he's rather peculiar. He keeps up the persona of Captain Falcon in his abilities; his +1 (actually +X) is a SHOW ME YA MOVES and gives him a loyalty counter for every creature target opponent controls. You might realise this potentially generates a LOT of counters. This is useful for two reasons. The first is his second ability that once again turns him into a creature, but his strength and toughness is linked to his loyalty counters, having him jump onto the battlefield with a big "HYES!". His final ability, coming at an unheard of -15. This comes, however, at a VERY powerful effect: the exile of all other permanents. It's like [[Elspeth Tirel]]'s third ability cranked up to 11: not even tokens or lands are spared, and they are exiled. This is approximated to having a FALCON PUNCH collide with another FALCON PUNCH. |- ! [[File:Kytheon, Hero of Akros.full.jpg|100px]] [[File:Gideon, Battle-Forged.full.jpg|100px]] | The third is a flip card. |- ! [[File:Gideon, Ally of Zendikar.full.jpg|100px]] | The fourth is Gideon, Ally of Zendikar. He can make 2/2 tokens for free, beat face in as a 5/5, and give all your weenies +1/+1. He also crews Heart of Kiran. |- ! [[File:Gideon-of-the-Trials.png|100px]] | Because the last Gideon wasn't pushed enough, Wizards has blessed us with this. |- |} {{Planeswalkers}}
