Gideon Blackblade: The Resolute Blade
Gideon Blackblade is a planeswalker that doubles as a frontline threat when you need it most. With a casting cost of {1}{W}{W}, Gideon Blackblade turns into a 4/4 Human Soldier creature with indestructible during your turn while still remaining a planeswalker. That interaction is straightforward to read and reliable to play; it forces opponents to answer him before combat math favors you and it shields your board presence against spot removal and combat tricks.
Play him in midrange or control shells that value board locking and efficient removal sequencing. His +1 ability buffs another creature with vigilance, lifelink, or indestructible, offering reach or sustain depending on the matchup. The ultimate exile effect gives you a clean out to problem permanents late in the game. As a Ravnica Remastered mythic foil in light play condition, this card is both a playable staple and a tasteful addition for collectors tracking singles from the set.
