Rest in Peace (it is the same momument as in the art from Gideon's spell book) soo unless this card does not represent the time the storyline occours then we are really missing ajani.
It would be ironic (if somewhat easily predicted) if the actual situation is that Kytheon/Gideon is currently too distracted hanging out with his Irregulars in Ilysia to pay attention to anything else, including breaking out of the Underworld.
As for the card, now that's creative wording for a pump spell! Might there be an Infect deck anywhere that wants this?
Dang, that's exactly what I needed for my Boros Soldier deck in Standard. If you're not targeting Swiftblade Vindicator with this, you're doing it wrong.
Not an exciting card in the slightest, but it's good, the flavor of turning another creature into a pseudo-Gideon is sweet and it should see play. Now only the Red Rare Legend to go.
Aw she’s cute. At least I think it’s female. I can’t tell with them in full armor but the art really is amazing.
I love the Rest In Peace monument in the background. Even some cards have references to original Theros basic lands and all. I admire the consistency and effort to flesh out Theros so well

IMO I'm not sure if Gideon soul made to Theros from Ravnica but considering how much of his character was a warrior who wanted peace and rest I could see him ignoring any chance to escape his death. He's finally at peace and happy.

She makes one of your creatures into a mini-gideon since his default power and toughness as creature is a 4/4. T-T RIP

False
Nah his not peace thing eh, his more of someone that stand justice, truth and against evil. His more fighter than any mono white walker, his ability even shows that he woul go toe to toe and combat, The peace and communication were all Jace if you read the book.
The peace opinion is kinda random and associate it to him resting fot good if given a chance lol.
His not reackless but his not a passive character that is all talk.

1. He fought to protect others, not to fight for fighting's sake(that was back when he was Kytheon)
2. He lived a hard life, never knowing true peace
3. He died a hero and was sent to be with his loved ones for all eternity
Gideon both earned and deserves his Hero's Ending.

Argument number one is false.
Everyone especially white legends and walkers protects yet theres a huge difference with Gideo
Gideon fought for justice than any walkers he fought "side by side" than any walker, he fought for justice.
Its dumb already to claim that a white walker fight for the sake of fighting they are white
and it"s dumb also to justify that it's an exclusive trait to gidy character to protect other as the reason he fight especially with white? LOL Even some walkers from other colors do the same?
Argument number 2? False again.
Thats not a gid exclusive and most walkers have lived a hard life to trigger their sparks. So it doesnt justify your conclusion. Liliana and Espeth did also lived that way. Lol
3?
fake especially the eternity trying to pull a stupid conclusion to win an argument based from personal opinion and preference. Saying eternity is already dumb. If mark roswater or a team in MTG would say that and would never print Gid on future stories then that is true.
4.No he wasn't because Bolas is still alive and their victory was fake, His people in theros is also in chaos and trouble that even in the underworld has issue too.
So conclusive happy ending for somethimg that is fake and even in afterlife of his people is im chaos thats not something to claim justice...
unless you hate gid card for having the only walker that fight "side by side" to his people. An exclusive Gid trait.
All your arguments are just throwing "generic cliches" that are common to either white or protoganist in mtg to justify your argument while me Im highlighting what makes him exclusive and different, what stands out of him.
Gideon is the most different and humane walker in white. That would risk even his so called illusion, dream or fantasy of victory and happines and dwould never hessitate to fight front of the line and die again for the sake of true justice for everyone.
I might be wishfully thinking (and maybe slightly evil) but white does have access to some cheap infect options and I think most of the time they are going to block 4 infect damage than block her. I think some kind of equipment + infect build may make her viable in commander. White has good weenie and artifact recursion to bring back any pieces that get shot down and the sword of truth and justice is pretty spicy as well.

Thats why this card would have been better with green, white and blue if ot can't protect itself
For a brief moment, he felt sorry for more recent friends, for Chandra and Nissa and Jace and Ajani and Aurelia and, yes, Liliana, and so many others. He was here and found. They were back there and still so lost. But just being in this present gave him hope for them. They’d survive. Liliana would save them. Or Jace would. Or they’d do it all together. Or they wouldn’t. But if this was the end, then the end, perhaps, was not so bad. Not so bad for me, certainly. So I can hope not so bad for them.There was sunlight and a cool breeze. The brook babbled on. There was serenity. Kytheon was at peace. At peace and, finally, redeemed…
Yeah Gideon is really ready to leave to fight some more....

I think white does offer some options with protection and indestructible effects. Blue would offer unblockable effects though.

So would you elaborate what that supposèd to justify and conclude of Gideons posibility of future prints for future sets not prequel?
smuglookingbarrel6 asked: So what's the story with Gideon? He's from Theros and dead, doesn't that mean that he's down in the Underworld and could escape?
A: You have to die on Theros to go to the Theros underworld, not be from Theros.

We still don't know the loop hole there in Ravnica Underworld.
Or maybe we assumed with the perpective that Gids dead but not because of another planeswalker interference. Same thing they did with Bolas but the difference is Bolas is written because the narrator tend to see that angle of perpective.

He's dead. Other magic heroic characters have had peaceful death vision at the end of their stories as well.
Ravnica has no underworld.

Not anymore, and not unless the card specifically removess from combat. This is just faux-vigilance, you have a blocker for next turn. Neat card.

Currently focusing on Pre-Modern (Mono-Black Discard Control) and Modern (Azorious Control, Temur Rhinos).
Find me at the Wizard's Tower in Ottawa every second Saturday afternoons.
There is a big monowhite hole in Theros pantheon right now. If they don't fill it with Gideon, they are doing it wrong.

How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.

I mean, seeing how theran apotheosis works, he wouldn't need to be resurrected or anything, people just have to believe in the idea of him and the god created this way will have features and characteristics of Gideon (or may even identify as him) without actually being the same person. It could happen, he just needs a big enough cult following him... this card indicates that something like this may already be starting.

Anyway, this is a pretty damn good card for devotion and for making a vigilant, indestructible creature every turn. Time for Mono W Aggro.
