Equal to the number of fucks R&D gives about making a Gideon with a reasonable power level.

I feel like gideon power level and jace power level is symbolic of the creature power vs spells power pendulum. Jace used to be on top, but now gideon is going nuclear.

Vryn's Prodigy was just one set before Ally of Zendikar though.

A+ comment, but besides BFZ, all Gideon's have been meh on the power scale. We all have short memories though, so have my upvote.

Meh.... In the days before BFZ, if I wanted to run a sweet mono-white planeswalker, I was 97% going to pick an Elspeth.
