MaRo has stated that they rarely like to print cards that have effects that last for the remainder of the game (ei: Elspeth's ultimate), and seeing as how we just had Elspeth printed, I highly doubt Gideon will do anything like a "until end of game silence".
"Just" had Elspeth printed? It's been well over a year since she first came out. While I don't necessarily think there will be an "until end of game" ability on Gideon it really isn't out of the question.

Getting into Modern if you have any commons/uncommons you want to unload for cheap (everything before Zendikar needed). My trade list.
Now that we have seen Sarkhan, that puts Gideon as +2, 0, -2. Interesting spread.
makes me feel like he's probably relatively cheap, with basic utility abilities (im hoping,that is).
Edit: then again, i suppose there is still the posibility he could have an expensive cc, lower loyalty range, but with more potent abilities; for instance, the ultimate could be something splashy(i.e. the speculated gain 20 life) at -2 if he costs 6 or so and a low starting loyalty (2/3?).
but personally, i'd like to see a cheaper (3 or 4 cmc) pw with more utility abilities and less splash that would be generally useful in many decks.
Gideon 2WWW
Planeswalker - Gideon {[2?]}
+2: ???
0: Exile target creature or planeswalker. When Gideon leaves the battlefield, return that permanent to the battlefield under its owner's control.
-2: Put a card exiled by Gideon onto the battlefield under your control.
That would account for the four instances of Gideon, the extra instance of planeswalker, and the lack of a large number for an ultimate.
Gideon 2WW
Planeswalker - Gideon
+1 - Prevent all damge dealt to you and creatures you control until your next upkeep.
-2 - Target player can't play spells and creatures that player controls cant attack you on that players next turn.
-X - Search for an Enchantment or Artifact card with converted mana cost X or less, if you do shuffle your library and put that card on top of your library.
-7 - All creatures and lands target player controls dont untap during their controllers next untap step.

Gideon has +2, 0 and -2 abilities only... (orb of insight says so)
Gideon, last hope for white 1WW
gideon
+2 : target creature gains protection from red and black untill end of turn
0: exile target red or black permanent
-2 : White creatures you control gains +0/+2, lifelink and vigilance

Don't know if someone already mentioned it, but how about "0: Put a loyalty counter on each Planeswalker you control" for a second ability? That would make up for the third "Planeswalker" in the orb as well
Gideon, the weak 2WWW
Planeswalker - Gideon
+2: Target creature gains flying until end of turn
-2: Target player returns a creaturecard from his or her graveyards to his or her hand.
As long Gideon, the weak is on the battlefield, prevent all damage that would be dealt to other planeswalkers you control.
with a static ability as sugested elswhere on this forum...
Here's something interesting: Sarkhan the Mad refers to himself as himself, not itself. This is bleedin' cool, yes, but it also gives us something to Orb.
Him: 1
Very interesting. What could it refer to? Could Gideon be the card that says him?
Note that there are 11 instances of he and 11 of she. This doesn't appear to be a part of another phrase.

I hate when people change their avatar's. That's how I identify most people, not by names.

-1: Put a something counter on target creature. Creatures with something counters cannot attack or block.
Yeah its just a pacify, but that's kind of what he does to the eldrazi titans, right?
"The world is an endless abyss and tomorrow
draws you deeper into the darkness."
+2 gain life equal to the power of all creatures your opponent controls
0 search your opponents library for a colorless eldrazi card and remove it from the game
-2 tap target creature. It doesn't untap during your opponents next untap step
(3)
Well, I didn't hit it on the spot, but creatures can only attack Gideon with the +2. Good enough for me. =)
