So. I've been doing a ton of thinking these past few days and I've come to a conclusion... I'm not 100% certain about it, but I personally believe Gideon Jura is going to die on Amonkhet or in Hour of Devastation.
Now, I don't want this to happen, but hear me out.
So technically, Gideon is highly respectful of the plane after he has found out about the Gods of Amonkhet being much different than the gods on Theros. Gideon is a large highlight in the storyline so far, with him joining the Trials and such. (I'm assuming because his planeswalker card is literally named "Gideon of the Trials.)
Taking a closer look at the Gatewatch (This new Gideon in specific), ever since they've been introduced, they've been the luckiest band of fu**ers ever to walk the Blind Eternities. Now, they're coming up to fight Nicol Bolas, the baddest-a*s ever to done anything ever. The Gatewatch cannot win this fight. Think of the foreshadowing the developers inserted when they said "The Gatewatch rushed to Amonkhet with absolutely no preperation and no plan. Ajani said that he was going to recruit an ARMY of Walkers to try to attempt to fight Bolas. The Gatewatch's luck streak ends now.
Now, returning to Gideon. Gideon, after arriving in Naktamun and meeting Oketra, thinks that Naktamun/Amonkhet is a place of butterflies and rainbows, behind a thin layer of sand. He really gets the awakening in the second storyline spotlight:
Now that Gideon's had a rude awakening, he decides to join the Trials to avenge his fallen "Crop-Mate". Take a look at Gideon of the Trials:
Minding his first two abilities which are prety much basic Gideon-like stuff, his last ability is the spotlight.
"0: You get an emblem with “As long as you control a Gideon planeswalker, you can’t lose the game and your opponents can’t win the game."
In other words, unless Gideon dies, the Gatewatch will win. and looking at the background images of the storyline on magic.wizards.com, The last image looks like a zombified Gideon.
Is Beefslab going to finally meet his match on Amonkhet? Vote and Comment or Nicol Bolas will eat your soul.
Bontu, God of Ambition--Mono-black Alligator god.
Oketra, God of Solidarity--Mono-white Cat goddess.
Rhonas, God of Strength--Mono-green Snake God
Hazoret, God of Zeal--Mono-red Jackal God(dess) [I'm not quite sure if Hazoret is a dude or a girl yet.]
******, God of Knowledge--Mono-blue Ibis god.
Speculating, If you looked at the Invocations art for Vindicate and Maelstrom Pulse, you can obviously see that Oketra is white, Bontu is Black and Rhonas is Green by making out the combinations between the God pairs. Meanwhile, we wait further for anything of the Ibis god.
