My Sunblast deck uses gideon, but I can't figure out which is better for the deck, Gideon Jura , or Gideon, Champion of Justice . Gideon Jura can kill tapped creatures, but only for so long, as it costs -2. Gideon, Champion of Justice , on the other hand can grow tremendously while being protected and swing straight at their life points. Which should I include?
Gideon Jura has strong removal, his +1 can pretty much give you an extra turn against aggressive decks, his 0 ability closes out games quickly.Champion of justice is just a crappy creature with only one relevant ability

All three modes of Gideon Jura do something and interact favorably with the rest of the deck. +2 to buy yourself some breathing room or get better value off of Sunblast Angel the following turn. -2 to take out key tapped creatures, the whole idea behind the deck. And 0 still presents a decent clock once the board is clear or stabilized.
Gideon, Champion of Justice only use is as a win condition, which the deck already has plenty of.

Gideon Jura is a lot better
