Icanshigit Why yes, yes it is. It is also receives targeted hate within my playgroup whenever I play it, so I had to come up with fitting name to justify the hate. :p

Hopefully I'll have time to devote to writing a full description for this deck soon.

With this deck title, you need to have Honor of the Pure, Crusade, and Crovax, Ascendant Hero. You can use Sunblast Angel to kill the creature you forced to attack Gideon, as well as a bunch of other creatures in the process. Angel of the Dire Hour will exile it instead. You also need Platinum Angel to display the invincibility of Gideon.

With this deck title, you would also need Selfie, Pumpkin Spice Latte, all the money, Donald Trump and literally every card that benefits white spells. Perfect.

But cool deck. One thing I'd like to ask is about the focus. You seem to have a few exalted cards, but you also seem to have a few anthem cards. If you plan to go with the anthem/lots of creatures side, I would suggest Goldnight Commander, Valor in Akros, Cathars' Crusade and Geist-Honored Monk.

Ashidafishi2. The way I build kytheon is a voltron style build. The problem with that is that he becomes impossible to efficiently equip if he ever flips. I solve this problem by using anthem effects to buff the creature activation on his planeswalker side passively. This way, he can still be huge creature, even if I can't equip him. I can't speak for this deck, but that's how I use them, and perhaps is also how this decks creator uses them.

Lanzo493 Too many anthems that don't fit flavor wise with Gideon. I mainly run the ones I have for flavor, but they also end up buffing Gideon's 0 ability as a bonus. Yes, they help most of my creatures, but they don't need that much help most of the time. Angel of the Dire Hour and Platinum Angel might however get slotted in. Do you have any suggestions on what they should replace?

Ashidafishi2 I'm not really looking to add additional creatures to this, 24 is more than enough for what I have going. I'm liking the mono-white control build I've got going, and the exalted goes a long way in most games since I normally only attack with one or two creatures at a time. This also works as a pseudo voltron build since I actually end up winning with commander damage more often than not. Citadel Siege, Ordeal of Heliod, Mikaeus, the Lunarch, and Ajani Goldmane all help me permanently pump up Gideon no matter which side of the card is currently face up.

Mastertoa That is correct. I've considered going full voltron with him, but I kinda like the control build I have going on right now.

For one, I think you could remove Rhox Faithmender seeing as you don't have very much lifegain in the deck. Mystic Barrier is an intersting card, but you don't want to take the politics out of commander, do you? Aligned Hedron Network can really bite you in the but when you have your angels out, but it can hurt the opponents more. Does Aegis of the Gods giving you hexproof really help in your meta? I would think hexproof doesn't apply much since most damage comes from attacks.

Those are my suggestions for what to remove. You can pick your favorites from them and remove what you want.

Perhaps Glory wouldn't be a bad choice for this deck. It fits with the flavor, being the white incarnation of protection, but it also give protection from the graveyard for only three white mana, at instant speed.

If you like anthems Humility is absolutely beautiful.

Secluded Steppe is a card drawing land that can be brought back to the field with Sun Titan

Good God, this deck is mean. I can't even. I don't think I could ever beat this thing, not with any deck I've ever constructed, if I didn't get off fast enough. And my commander decks are typically not very fast. I mean, I'd love you to look over my decks called Winning? Who cares? CHAOS!!! and Mogis Hellbent, and see whether you think they'd have a chance in heaven, hell, or purgatory.

nyctophasm Yes, I will head over and take a look at those. While I agree that this deck is mean, it is also very beatable. Just as it is with every deck; it doesn't work if I don't draw into my mean things. To counter this I packed it with as many mean things as I possibly could, but it is still up to how well my opponents know and play their own decks in the end.

Nice deck looks fun. Spirit of the Labyrinth is on theme and might be nice against blue or black decks. +1

Cool deck. Aura of Silence would be excellent here, especially with Sun Titan.
