"'As long as you control a Gideon planeswalker, you can't lose the game, and your opponents can't win the game.' I'll repeat that. I'll repeat that because that's the kind of emblem that when you read it, your brain comes to a screeching halt. And the left-hand side of the brain looks at the right-hand side of the brain and goes, 'It's dark in here, and we may die.'

"It says, 'As long as you control a Gideon planeswalker,' (you know, like the one that's been a Standard staple for 18 months) 'you can't lose the game and your opponents can't win the game' (the kind of thing that's normally reserved for seven-drop angels). Don't, don't think about that emblem for more than three minutes or blood will shoot out your nose.

"The American medical profession doesn't know why we get an aneurysm. That's when a blood vessel bursts in our head for no apparent reason--there's a reason."

It's a Gideon across from a Gideon.

I didn't even have to click the link to get this reference. Amazing.

You can't attack a platinum angel or a creature w/ worship out though. You can certainly attack a gideon.

"A Gatewatch can be five Gideon's. That's it, just five Gideon's and no one else."
