That's right. With my newest devilish creation, I've found a way to make Gideon 2.0 (Gideon, Champioin of Justice) actually work :)

By using a combo of enchantments to slow down the opponent, an Oblivioin Ring on one of the two bombs (being Obzedat, Ghost Council or Deathpact Angel ), you ultimate Gideon for some hilarious fun as you get your beater back and still have Gideon :D Tell me what you guys think or if you have any suggestions

Death is an Escape. Here, there is no Escape

Good luck getting to 15 loyalty. I use Gideon as a hard to kill 5/5+ beatstick. Both your and your sorcery speed wipes don't kill him. I like Gideon i miss old Gideon as he could do the same thing. You are doing a lot work,(casting your bomb, o-ringing it, and gideon to 15+) then again you pull it off i don't see how you can lose.

Here is my shameless plug on how i use Gideon

It's quite possible to do, and I discovered even if it was only 3 creature fueling Gideon he pumps up quickly.

Only 3 Creatures? Not a good idea to let your opponent have 3 creatures in the first place, most opponents aren't gonna commit to that board that much unless there in tokens anyways or have a hand the size of texas. Not to mention they can attack gideon, and if there not attacking gideon they hitting you in the face. Then again you are playin 12 Pacifism, so they are gonna have useless creatures.

Why Tribute to hunger aren't they just gonna sac an Enchanted creatures, I'd take them, Contaimed Ground, and perhaps deathpact angel, and put some targeted removal, that High Priest of Penance seems fun too.

Sphere of Safety is an Option too.

Fiirst off, Tribute to Hunger solves problems with both Hexproof creatures and if I'm falling behind on life. The only hexproof creatures really used are Invisible Stalker , Geist of Saint Traft , and Sigarda, Host of Herons . Aside from Sigarda, the other two are dropped when alone.

Contaminated Ground fights off a ton of lands, and can even be used when my opponent is getting color screwed. Deathpact Angel is one of the bombs. Dropping her is a no go.
