Gideon champion of Justice

[Missingkirby34]

This thread is my rant on why I think he is extremely underrated. My friend and I constantly get into this argument and I want to see your opinions.
Personally I love Gideon, he is great against aggro decks (I.e. most Simic decks) and I'm fairly certain he is viewed as almost no threat at all, so he basically sits there and builds counters (from what I've seen). Sure he's no vraska, or domri, but in times he can pull through and drastically turn the game around, and other times, he could be used as a scapegoat, if your opponent sees he is becoming to big, they will go after him, giving you one more turn. Just my opinion on him feel free to voice your own!

I partly agree, in few builds he can be killing machine... I do play him in Bant and he is perfect there.... Especially against agrro decks...;) but he can be game saver also against controls... Swinging for five each turn with undestructible creature... He is playable but as I said in certain builds...;)

He's the first planeswalker got 2 of by ripping them from packs. :-\ he's fine when your opponents playing tokens. (hehe) So ya if I rated him in stars I think he would be 3 1/2 or so...

But he could get much better once future sets come out, he does obviously smash tokens.

Gideon is situational at best, and never good enough to be worth the effort. Sure he DOES something, but I believe he is rated just fine - below average. He is worse then a Keyrune.

Look at him, he is basically an extremely limited Artifact. I honestly prefer the Keyrunes because at least I can get mana...

You can say that about any card ever printed - also, he probably isn't the best card in decks that he's in. Too many answers to him.

Well yes but if populate gets big in dragon's maze then he could become a real threat to some decks.

As I said in few builds... Honestly can come up only with one good build...;) fog...;) I love him in that deck turn 4-5 drawing bcs of {Garruk, Primal Hunter} 6-8 cards and swinging with him...;)
