This deck takes advantage of all that Gideon Jura has to offer.

Turn 1 - Plains, Gideon's Lawkeeper

Turn 2 - Plains, Blinding Mage

Turn 3 - Plains, Gideon's Avenger, Or Blinding Souleater if you are worried about burns and such.

Turn 4 - Plenty of choices, but if you laid the Blinding Souleater last turn lay Gideon's Avenger and Stave Off the lightning bolt or doom blade. Otherwise Lay Angelic Destiny. Or start tapping. (blinding souleater might be your only tap because the NPH mana.)

Turn 5 - Many choices. But Prefered would be Gideon Jura , or start tapping like crazy. and save for Stave Off s and such

I would love to hear from you guys. I know this deck relies heavily on the avenger, but it's a great card.

There are a ton of blue control cards that would be great... Should i splash the blue or stick to white?

P.S. I know Blinding Mage is M11, and I will rotate him out for something else. Until then we have 3 months of goodness.

I also need some cards for sideboard. I have a few cards in mind. Like white control and such, but otherwise I'm not sure

edit: trying out black/ white to see if it is feasible
