Thanx dude, I think it can be fun :) It might need some chump blockers and life gain, but don´t want to sacrifice room for control/enchantments.

It will need some playtesting!

Might as well add in a 4th Gideon if you can and also why no board wipe? Another thing is you may want some creatures because when you turn Gideon into a creature it isn't going to be hard to get rid of him. Devour Flesh, yea you may be able to counter it but that goes with any threat that comes at Gideon and you only have five counters. Also Sphinx's Revelation would suit you better than some of those enchantments. Also man...you want other threats because Slaughter Games can't be countered and kills the deck by getting rid of Gideon.

Thanx for the tips. Why I dont have any board wipes in this deck is because of Gideon. The whole idea is to let the opponent have is dudes and Gideon grows faster. Also, Sphere of Safety and Touch of the Eternal makes it a problem to run too many instants and sorceries. I will probobly add Sphinx´s Rev though, its just too good. Thanx!

EDIT: Added 3 Sphinx´s, removed 2 Think Twice and 1 Abundant Growth. I hope I have enough card draws now to only play 3 Gideon. Will be playtesting this next week.

Thanx for the input!

Didn´t think of Slaughter Games, good call. I think I´ve made it more complete now, added 3 Tusks and 1 Angel. Should be enough :)

Got rid of Farseek.

Thanx!

Nice deck!

I would add 4 Snapcasters though (sideboarding Detention Sphere and -1 Azorious Charm) and sideboard Jace, Memory Adept and add Jace, Architect.

Just my two cents :)

cool deck. curve is quite high though... you probably wont have enough mana to extort via blind obedience. maybe remove touch of eternal.

made a control deck too. please take a look and comment. THANKS!
