MTG Salvation

Pretty much everyone called it.

Awww I really liked Gideon...

This isn't Game of Thrones. People don't stay dead if they're popular.

Yup. Not exactly a surprise here. Does it redeem Lili? Does she go back to using white mana ever again? Who knows?

She could mummify Gideon. What could go wrong?

Truefire Captain approves

Well, Gideon, you will be missed. Not by me, but by people that like awful characters.

I'll claim to like him just to start a fight with an internet stranger. Prove me wrong.

Is there anyone that actually likes Jace as a character?

You are allowed this statement in its entirety only if you believe Jace is a tool as well. Good day.

The Gatewatch is to Magic as Phantom Menace is to Star Wars.

Sad, cause I really wanted a Liliana Lich form

This is almost a strictly better Martyrdom. You just can't redirect the damage dealt to other player's stuff (big swing at another player, Martyrdom on your Stuffy Doll, for instance.)

Also it's kind of a shame that Gideon and Liliana can't both die here. They're both so boring!

It's been cool for eight years and I already have a job

Yeah because the cool thing to do these days is dog on the Gatewatch like you can create a better story-arc... Well, here's your chance, show WotC you can write circles around their creative staff and land that sweet job.

Comboing this with Truefire Captain is going to be seriously obnoxious.

Welp, Beefslab McStrongarm is dead.

Hehe. Got him. Press F to pay respects to the most boring character of MTG history. The rest of the Gatewatch next? We can only pray...

Ironically, if you actually choose Gideon (during your turn) he won’t take any damage at all, so not much of a sacrifice
