Perhaps the last print run of the first Gideon? Or a hint at Gideon 2.0 in M12?
EDIT: Seemed like more of a speculation thread than one that belongs in the main Rumor Mill. If I'm wrong, feel free to move it.
EDIT: Fixed the link. Right video now.
Wizards just cheated a little. It's actually Rafiq from Finest Hour but they photoshoped long hair on him to make him look like Gideon. I'm not hating though. The picture from Finest Hour is really cool and cutting corners to save money is understandable.

That was pretty cool I must say, though I doubt Gideon will die. A MtG movie would be epic, and this made me want to see more. Looked like Nicol Bolas flying over Gideon, and I also noticed they used the original PW art for Jace, Garruk, Sorin, and Chandra which makes me think they will all see reprints as opposed to 2.0's/3.0's, maybe with new art since we already have new art for them. I could live Gideon Jura + Jace B I suppose.

Who knows? Maybe WotC is testing the waters by presenting teasers like this. One could only hope.
I sure hope so, I've wanted a cool cartoon for magic since Ravnica, obviously not anything like Yugioh, but more of following a planswalker or two around to see what was going on from there prescriptive when different events happened on plans and what not.
I have a strange feeling that they wouldn't put a gideon 2.0 in a core set. I'm about 80% sure that it will just be a reprint. They will probably save a Gideon 2.0 for an upcoming block in the future.

They showed this video at the MtG panel at PAX East this year, and they presented it as a promo for M12, not Duels of the Planeswalkers. I figured this was released into the wild during the convention, so it's kind of weird that it took them this long to put it out.
He said he was ABOUT to die... and then four other walkers come to his aid.

Brian Tinsman, Set Designer :?mana::snow::snow:

Brian Tinsman, Set Designer can only be cast during the third set of a block.
When Brian Tinsman, Set Designer enters the battlefield, ignore all flavor and mechanics of the first two sets in the block. "Ok so what do we have here... gothic horror? Scrap it. Expand the Devine Vs. Demonic duel deck to 244 cards and print it!"
2/2
That was pretty badass. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is the first time they have used the Core Set to push the main storyline. Will there be Bolas cards as well? I am officially interested in the flavor of a Core Set for the first time.

I don't think they are going to push the storyline with this set, they just wanted to show a neowalker (Gideon) being rolfstomped by a powerful evil (in this case another planeswalker, Nicol Bolas) and so he need to call other planewalkers for help. I could be wrong tough.
Allies in core set actually makes sense. It's another "mechanic" besides Bloodthirst that uses +1/+1 counters.
Allies is a ZEN block mechanic, it's probably not comin back. The video seems to state pretty clearly that "Gather Your Allies" refers to planeswalkers.
Could be more cards that interact with planeswalkers in the set, or just a cryptic tagline meant to make the Rumor Mill endlessly debate about M12 til July.

But mostly, I'd rather just be playing Tempest era Suicide Black.
Here's hoping that Gideon will turn out to be some kind of Magic main good guy who keeps showing up every now and then. Kinda like what Bolas is for the dark side.
The end of the video clearly shows the original gideon. With original art. with an m12 symbol. But I agree, I think he "dies" somehow, hence gideon's avenger being a card in m12. He'll probably be reprinted "reincarnated" by nicol bolas somewhere in the future, like tezzeret, however.
Where'd you get that shot? I don't remember seeing that in the video. Looks like we're getting Beleren back after comparing JtMS and Beleren's cards edges. The one in the screenshot is clearly Beleren:

I agree, it's probably going to be:
Gideon Jura
Jace Beleren
Sorin Markov
Chandra Nalaar
Garruk Wildspeaker
With all new art for each. I guess that would be cool. Sorin's pretty bad and so is Chandra, Garruk/Jace/Gideon are all solid though.

I don't think the Ally creature type will apprear, it's a block mechanic.
My guess what they mean by allies are 'Planeswalker allies', fellow Planeswalkers to aid you in your struggles.
