Havin seen todays Trailer & then Lilianas card, made me conclude followin:
There r gonna b 3 Mythic Rare-Planeswalkers in WAR. There are also 3 Planeswalkers in the trailer (besides Dack). So i assume these 3 (Bolas, Liliana & Gideon) are gonna b the Mythic Rares. Liliana has 3 abilities + a triggered one. So Gideon likely is structured equally.
Here is what i hope him to become:
GIDEON, AVATAR OF COURAGE
6 mana, 8 Loyality
- All damage dealt to you, or another Planeswalker you control, is dealt to Gideon instead.
+2 Until your next turn, if Gideon takes damage, he deals 3 damage to the sources' controller & you draw a card.
0 Until end of turn Gideon becomes a 7/7 Human, Soulja with Indestructible & Protection from the color of your choice. Prevent all damage that would be dealt to him.
-7 Target opponent sacrifices from among his permanents so many cards, that he has equally many permanents of all card-types as you.
First; i knew i wanted him to have a very high Loyality & use it as kind of a shield.
I chose his static ability, cuz i find its a perfect match for his character & i knew i can even find an ability to synergize.
+2 While brainstormin, this turned out to be the one ability to work best with the static ability. It's supposed to grant your longevity & also punish those who wanna hurt you ! Direct damage is unnatural for white, but in this case it's pretty thematic: Gideon hits back who hurt you ~ Eye for an eye !
0 Obviously this was the first ability i was certain about.
But i wanted a slight variation & thought to myself: What if Gideon remained a Creature until my NEXT turn. But way too overpowered. I simply added Protection this time to not get chumped too easily.
-7 Some Mass-Removal classis white style. I admittedly copied Balance here though.
Im kinda proud of my Gideon & what hopefuly is the one in WAR ^^
I do tend to exaggerate the Power sometimes.
What do ya think about Gideon & what would you do differently ?
Gideon, Avatar of Courage 3WWW/4WW/5W
All damage dealt to you or other planeswalkers you control is dealt to Gideon instead.
/+2\: Until your next turn, whenever Gideon, Avatar of Courage is dealt damage, he deals 3 damage to the source's controller, and you draw a card.
\-7/: Target opponent sacrifices permanents so that player controls as many permanents of each type as you.
)0(: Until end of turn, Gideon, Avatar of Courage becomes a Human Soldier creature with power and toughness equal to his loyalty that’s still a planeswalker. Prevent all damage that would be dealt to him this turn.

Firstly, six mana for a 'Walker with 8 loyalty ain't happening, no matter how much of one color the card needs. Secondly, while I don't think WotC'll give him four abilities, the static and token abilities fit Gideon to the proverbial T. Thirdly, his plus 2 seems more red/white than mono-white, and you've pegged him to mono-white with the name. Finally, his ultimate is cowardly, not courageous, and WotC'd never allow a 'walker to do something that powerful immediately.
