Ever since I saw Gideon of the Trials spoiled I've been trying to Create a deck around his interaction with the cycle of pacts. Gideon of the trials emblem allows you to not have to pay for the upkeep trigger of any number of pacts.gonna go over each part of the deck and its inclusion in the deck.

This deck is a Tempo deck.is a combo deck that doesn't win the game right away

Gideon of the trials Show

• main enabler of pacts

• a fast clock in itself

• pact of the titan can be cast for free as removal when your tapped out turn 3, baiting them to attack with creatures into the "defenceless" planeswalker killing their stuff and protecting your gideon.(the synergy is amazing here)

• Soo good with pact of negation. allows you to have a better version of force of will for protecting gideon either from counter spells, direct removal (apart from abrupt decay) or haste creatures.(often casting multiple counterspells and 4/4 tokens for free while your tapped out on their turn.)

• can just be a free win vs some decks (mill, ad nauseam )

• his +1 is awesome vs decks with few creatures with high power toughness (deaths shadow, Tarmogoyf )

• if op is able to build a wide board before gideon comes down he might not be able to survive combat to be a pact enabler

• double white casting cost has made me stay away from 3 colours in this deck

• dies to abrupt decay and with a pact trigger coming down the pipe can mean GG.
