About Gideon of the Trials

Gideon of the Trials, Legendary planeswalker — gideon, designed by Terese Nielsen first released in Jun, 2002 in the set Magic Online Promos and was printed exactly in 8 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 21.60. It's a key card in 8 combos.

This card is best suited for a control deck that focuses on stalling the game and protecting itself, as Gideon of the Trials provides a strong defensive option with its damage prevention abilities and the game-winning emblem it grants. While there may be other planeswalker cards that offer more versatile effects or immediate impact, Gideon of the Trials can be a solid choice in the right deck, especially in a meta where protecting your life total is crucial.

Rules

04/18/17

Gideon’s first ability will continue to prevent damage dealt by the target permanent even if Gideon leaves the battlefield before your next turn.

04/18/17

If damage that can’t be prevented is dealt to Gideon after his second ability has resolved, that damage will have all applicable results: specifically, the damage is marked on Gideon (since he’s a creature) and that damage causes that many loyalty counters to be removed from him (since he’s a planeswalker). Even though he has indestructible, if Gideon has no loyalty counters on him, he’s put into his owner’s graveyard.

04/18/17

If Gideon becomes a creature the same turn he enters the battlefield, you can’t attack with him or use any of his abilities (if he gains any).

04/18/17

If you have Gideon’s emblem in a Two-Headed Giant game and control a Gideon planeswalker, your team can’t lose the game and the opposing team can’t win the game. If your teammate controls a Gideon planeswalker but you do not, your emblem’s effect doesn’t apply.

04/18/17

No game effect can cause you to lose the game or cause any opponent to win the game while Gideon’s emblem is in effect. It doesn’t matter whether you have 0 or less life, you’re forced to draw a card while your library is empty, you have ten or more poison counters, you’re at your Glorious End, your opponent casts a second Approach of the Second Sun, or so on. You keep playing.
