Oh good, just what standard needed. A 3 mana 4/4 indestructible, that can get itself out of Tower or Unlicensed range. This should make Mardu Vehicles playable. Good work Wizards

I could see that Gideon doing work in places other than standard, that effect is really powerful if you can't bolt it

The more I read new Gid and the more it seems a control piece, not an aggro one.

The Trial/Cartouche cycle are loving amazing for limited and exactly the sort of enchantment matters theme that would have been awesome to have in Theros, the enchantment matters set, lol.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have a question of you. Are you looking for the next Night's Whisper? The next Read the Bones? The next Painful Truths? Because boy howdy this card is not that

Why would you ever print that last ability Ever Hero's downfall had better be in the set E: like I see why it's there in a vacuum but hoo boy is it dangerous Jen X fucked around with this message at 16:01 on Apr 5, 2017 |

There better be some real good walker killers. Like 1R deal 4 damage to target permanent, downfall, a deck for the hasty dragon.

I want to use it in esper walkers in modern. T3 New Gideon, t4 verdict, t5 Big Gideon plus to 8 seems difficult for a lot of things to beat.

mcmagic posted:There are legacy decks that can't beat the Emblem... Lol what deck can't remove a planeswalker? Like any creature deck obv has answers out the wazoo ANT has chain of vapor and possibly abrupt decay (if they aren't all in on Gideon tribal) Painted stone eliminates their deck and then swings at Gideon with their recruiters and painters Seriously what legacy deck doesn't have creatures or blue?

I don't think it's all that great outside of standard In standard, it's a brick wall that just keeps growing each turn and requires at least 2 unblocked creatures just to start whittling it away, and indeed one that literally has to go away so you can win Especially since it specifically says "target permanent" instead of "target creature", meaning vehicles are out
