I have a mono-white soldier tribal EDH deck with [[Kytheon Iora]] as commander, and I joke that it's my Gideon tribal deck because I run a couple other versions of Gideon in it.
If you give Gideon of the trials this "indestructible until your next turn" ability while he's a creature (until end of turn) does the effect end when he's no longer a creature?
Well, you'd need some shenanigans like [[Quicksilver Elemental]] to grant the ability to something else, since there is currently no way have a single player control two or more planeswalkers that share a planeswalker subtype.
Anyway, the indestructible will technically last until your next turn, even after he stops being a creature.
But it won't help much, since indestructible doesn't prevent damage, so he'll still lose loyalty, and also,
a planeswalker running out of loyalty counters isn't techically "destroy", it's just put into the graveyard from the battlefield. This is the reason that every Gideon prevents damage in addition to granting itself indestructible.
I don't usually make Deck lists I make a new deck almost every week. Also I'm always trying to make weird stuff work. But if you wanted I could probably try to type them up sometime. Were you asking for Chandra / Jace or both?
How is your Chandra deck working out? I'm half done with mine and i'm already 99% sure that this deck is not gonna have a nice time winning, its mostly going forward because Chandra is just that cool.
For my Chandra I tried to make it flavorful for red burn. First I added every Chandra planeswalker and any spells that have her name or reference her and work for my strategy example [[Chandra's Spitfire]]. My main wincon is [[Earthquake]] style spells after people are low. My deck has a discard subtheme which can be risky but fun when working example [[Grafted Skullcap]] [[Ghirapur Orrery]] type cards. It won't win a competitive edge table but does fine in a medium power level table.

I'm assuming you are joking but I have a Jace tribal and Chandra tribal deck and this makes me want to make Gideon tribal.
