How do you play gideon jura

Gideon Jura. Community Rating:. Community Rating: 4. Click here to view ratings and comments. Oracle Printed. Card Name:. Mana Cost:.

Converted Mana Cost:. Uncounterable Supreme Verdict is the best sweeper. Cryptic Command will utilize every mode. Tap down a team to buy yourself extra turns to find your sweepers. Countering a spell is always strong, and your second mode allows Cryptic Command to replace itself by drawing a card.

Bouncing Snapcaster Mage to cast Cryptic again, or even resetting a planeswalker or Detention Sphere , are all common lines of play.

Spreading Seas does so much for such a small investment. Some additional interaction in Negate and Mana Leak gives you some early answers and Gideon protection.

Serum Visions is the most powerful way in Modern to guarantee smooth draws and to find the key spells you need in short order. You could give him haste, but since he stops becoming a creature at the end of the turn, that enchantment would get destroyed right after. So maybe the ability is really just to protect his own ass? So not only can you not use it on the opponent's turn, you also can use it on your own turn if the opponent uses abilities or instants.

The only way you could use it for that would be to predict at the beginning of your turn that they opponent would try to target your gideon. His other two abilities aren't bad but this 0 ability seems soo completely useless I'm just wondering if I'm missing something..

I didn't think that when something becomes a creature it counts as a summon and gives summoning sickness. At first I thought it might be a glitch, but then again, a lot of those effects also give haste so that's probably why. But then what about vehicles?? Howcome they don't need haste? It doesn't explain any of this on the cards or even keyword descriptions. Showing 1 - 6 of 6 comments. Mjollnir View Profile View Posts. What is the question? First, you talk about a old Gideon which we don't know much.

But yes at first view it seems so-so, but then I haven't play during magic and I don't know the meta at the time.
