Battle for Zendikar Trailer Gatecrash Trailer Battle for Zendikar Trailer Gatecrash Trailer.
Gideon was sent to capture and deal with the rogue pyromancer Chandra Nalaar , but the two of them soon became allies and friends rather than enemies, and they had their own adventure together. The two ended up on the dark plane of Diraden, ruled only by black mana, and Gideon endured great torture to keep Chandra safe. As repayment, Chandra broke free of her captors and rescued Gideon, using the last of her strength to bring them both back to Regatha.
Chandra passed through the Purifying Fire without regrets as Gideon suggested, and she proved herself in the process. She also argued that the Order of Heliud was cruel and oppressive, and that Gideon shouldn't work for such people.
Gideon took those words to heart, and he broke ties with the Order. Sometime later, Gideon ended up on the wild world of Zendikar, which was secretly the prison home of the fearsome, alien Eldrazi race.
Gideon became a hero of Zendikar's united champions, inspiring them with his combat prowess and indomitable spirit alike.
Gideon was an effective tactical leader, but still, the Eldrazi gained ground, and they destroyed Sea Gate. Gideon and his allies created a formal team of planeswalkers known as the Gatewatch, and Gideon and his fellows were able to turn the tables on the Eldrazi. Gideon kept them busy while Jace and Nissa prepared Zendikar's leylines for a massive spell. Then, Chandra and Nissa poured their magic into it and destroyed Ulamog and Kozilek for good.
Noyan, who had up until this point thought Gideon an idiot, agreed, only to realize soon-after that Gideon had used his own hubris against him as manipulation to get him to offer his help. Kiora , a Planeswalker native to Zendikar, brought her own army of merfolk and colossal sea monsters to the fight.
Gideon's army began an attack on the Eldrazi-controlled Sea Gate, joined soon thereafter by Nissa. The Eldrazi were driven from the city, and Sea Gate's defensive ramparts were rebuilt and fortified. The soldiers of Zendikar celebrated a hard-won victory. Then, Jori En arrived with the news that Ulamog was approaching While Gideon's troops and Kiora's forces held the city against this fresh assault, Nissa called on the elemental power of the earth to raise sunken hedrons from the ground and move them into a ring around the Eldrazi titan.
Jace activated the hedrons' magic, and Ulamog was trapped! Then everything collapsed. Ob Nixilis appeared, having followed Nissa from Bala Ged.
He summoned Kozilek and defeated Jace, Nissa, and Gideon. Nixilis even thought for a moment that he had killed Gideon. The four together could finally defeat Nixilis, who retreated and swore that he would travel the multiverse to find a fitting punishment for them.
The four planeswalkers realized that they were helpless against large threats on their own, but that they could stand against just about any force in the Multiverse by working together.
Thus they swore an oath to stand together and the Gatewatch was created. After consulting with Nissa, he described the Ley Line pattern to her that would bind Kozilek and Ulamog to Zendikar, drawing the bulk of the Titans into the plane so that their energy could be dispersed into Zendikar, killing them in the process.
To attract them, the remaining forces of Zendikar's defenders under Gideon's lead would pose as a bait. While the plan worked at first, with Gideon keeping the Eldrazi swarms away from the army, Kiora clearing out any other swarms and Chandra supporting them, once the Eldrazi titans were anchored to Zendikar, their destructive essence threatened to assimilate Zendikar into themselves.
Afraid, Kiora tried to persuade Nissa to release the Titans and allow them to flee, but Jace objected. Chandra offered to burn the Titans instead and after preventing Kiora from attacking Nissa, Jace agreed. The pyromancer then connected with the animist, allowing her to channel her pyromantic magic through Zendikar's Ley Lines directly into the titans.
In one brilliant blaze of flame, Ulamog and Kozilek were incinerated and destroyed, leaving only ashes raining from Zendikar's sky. After the defeat of the Eldrazi titans, Gideon stayed a while on Zendikar to help rebuild its civilization. Gideon arrived along with the rest of the Gatewatch on Innistrad after Jace alerted them of the presence of the third Eldrazi Titan, Emrakul.
When the Gatewatch tried to use Ley Lines to bind Emrakul like the other titans, Gideon tried to protect his team members from the assaulting Eldrazi hordes, but would have nearly been overwhelmed had it not been for the help of the necromancer Liliana Vess. Mistrusting her intentions at first, he later relented to Jace, since the telepath knew Liliana better than he did. While trying to battle Emrakul, the Gatewatch fell under its corrupting influence.
Gideon was trapped in a scene where he was confronted again by Erebos along with the other members of the Gatewatch. Erebos asked Gideon to tell him his true desire, or he would wipe out his new friends. Since none of Gideon's answers found the approval of the god, Gideon had to watch as his friends fell one by one. When he was freed from the trap by Jace, Gideon fought to keep the Eldrazi away while Jace, Nissa, and their new ally Tamiyo worked their spell to seal Emrakul into the moon of Innistrad.
After the battle was won, he approached Tamiyo, offering her a place in the Gatewatch. When the Soratami declined, Jace and Gideon talked and decided to offer Liliana the place instead. Chandra would blow up the construct with her fire magic, while Gideon would use his invulnerability to keep them both alive. Gideon came to Kaladesh with the rest of the Gatewatch after learning of the presence of the rogue planeswalker Tezzeret there.
Having been present during the finale of the Inventors' Fair , the Gatewatch continued to lend aid to the Renegades , moving from safe house to safe house. Gideon was skeptical about this, having stood on both sides of the law, and asked himself if they should have cooperated with Baan to shed light on the threat of Tezzeret from within.
This caused friction with Chandra, who saw Tezzeret and the Consulate as one and the same, wanting to tear it all down. Gideon reminded her that the purpose of the Gatewatch was not traveling from plane to plane to impose their judgment on the world's inhabitants.
Otherwise, they would be no better than tyrants. Likewise, he tried to restrain Liliana from killing Consulate soldiers without need. Liliana instead reprimanded him for underestimating the threat that Tezzeret posed. After days, the Gatewatch learned from Saheeli Rai that Tezzeret had sequestered himself into the Aether Spire, experimenting with the invention of Rashmi.
Liliana volunteered to go together with Saheeli , while the Renegades planned a diversion by attacking the central Aether Hub of Ghirapur.
Gideon would instead lead various attacks to spread Consulate forces thinly across the city. Gideon offered her physical comfort before Baral taunted Chandra to attack him. At the same time, the Aetherhub was under attack from Gearhulks and Gideon decided to protect it.
He destroyed the Gearhulk by placing his indestructible body between the gears, causing it to collapse. The Renegade artificers had constructed a special thopter that they would send to shut down Tezzeret's invention. Again distressed by the willingness of Liliana to harm innocents, Gideon tried to argue against her plan to confront the Grand Consul, but with no success. After the thopter had been destroyed by a raid of Dovin Baan, Chandra and Gideon improvised, entering the thopter themselves.
Chandra would blow up the construct with her fire magic, while Gideon would use his hieromancy to keep them both alive. After the revolt was over, Gideon inducted Ajani into the Gatewatch, telling him that they would be honored if he joined their ranks. Afterward, the Gatewatch came together to coordinate their future activities.
Gideon agreed with Liliana and Jace that it would be too dangerous to leave Tezzeret alone and that their best chance would be to attack his master directly on Amonkhet. Gideon's Defeat at the hands of Bolas. Gideon arrived at Amonkhet together with the rest of the Gatewatch, finding himself in a desert filled with undead. Fighting against both undead and hungry wurms, Gideon witnessed how a divine being interceded in their favor, destroying the undead and awakening a long-forgotten yearning within him.
Feeling deep devotion again for the first time since he had dared to challenge Erebos, Gideon advised the rest of the Gatewatch to learn what they could about the plane before they would make their move.
He himself went to Oketra's temple, pledging himself to her to face the Trials of the Five Gods. Learning about the faith of the people, he began to feel unease but thought nothing of it.
When the crop was brought before Bontu , Gideon and his new crop were brought to enter the trial. When Bontu told how none are born strong, Gideon asked her if this also held true for the gods. Bontu commemorated his brazenness and allowed his crop to begin. During the trial, he was horrified about the careless way the crop members treated the lives of their fellows, leaving wounded behind that could have been saved.
When the crop came before Bontu, the god told them that their number was too great and that sacrifices of their fellow crop members were in order. Gideon was shocked when the rest of the crop cut down their own comrades-in-arms and when he tried to intervene, the god's servants came to restrain him.
Now everyone else here knows it too. How fitting. Loud, brash, rebellious, impulsive, charismatic, and physical, young Kytheon hits the entire Red checklist. He and Chandra would have gotten along like a house on fire if they met at this point. And yet, there is White in him still, if you care to search it out. Kytheon is not a killer.
After the brawl, he is dragged before Hixus, the prison warden. A single murder in return for his freedom. Kytheon pointed the dagger at the warden for a long moment. Neither averted his gaze from the other. He dropped his arm to his side, letting the dagger clatter to the floor. But the fact remains: Kytheon may love to fight, and he may be great at it, but he has no desire to kill anyone.
That cold ruthlessness is foreign to him. Kytheon wants everyone to be treated fairly. He and his Irregulars claimed the Foreign Quarter as territory but never tried to control or exploit the people who lived there. While he gets hauled off by the guards, one of his Irregulars starts a prison riot to depose Ristos once and for all.
Kytheon preyed on bullies without becoming one himself. Kytheon always tried to do the right thing, but his idea of right and wrong did not come from secular laws or divine commandments. His internal sense of fairness and justice guided his actions.
He stole food not to feed himself, but to feed his friends and their families—breaking the law to further a greater purpose. Kytheon uses Red means and methods to achieve White goals. I contend that both colors are inherent to his being, down to his very bones, and a necessary part of his emotional health.
To deny one or the other would be to forfeit any semblance of inner peace. So what happened? What happened to his vital, precious, joyful Red heart? Though he tried to refuse it, Hixus gave him little choice in the matter.
Every day for the next few years, Hixus would strengthen his mind and body, teaching him how to use Hieromancy, the defensive magic of action and reaction. It added a layer of thoughtful White analysis to his intuitive battle insight.
