I think it came from the second Great Designer Search. It split between Prisoner and Guard factions and the mechanics were about "breakouts", i.e. "if a creature you control dealt combat damage to a player this turn". By all accounts it looked like it'd make for good ground combat, and the flavor would be pretty fresh.

Gideon Jura pre-spark



Looks like his home plane is Theros?

The pattern on his skirt-thing is red and white with an unusually familiar starburst shape.

Clearly this means Gideon's from Theros, a block where the red/white faction uses this logo extensively.

The stupidity of some people astounds me.

That looks literally nothing like the boros symbol except in a very general "arc segment of a circle with some pointy bits" sense.

If you meant something else, please clarify.

Pretty sure if Gideon was a member of the Boros on Ravnica, it would have come up in the story of Return to Ravnica, where he was a member of the Boros on Ravnica.

Yes, its that and not the fact that he works for the Order of Heliud, is dressed in Grecian clothing and is holding Heliod's Spear.

So they can continue to prolong the weird romance angle with Chandra.

If you're unfamiliar with MTG lore, yes that's a thing. Its like a Maro-penned romance story - they like each other but she can't get over his white-ness and he's too stuffy to get over her red-ness.
