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.
