{{Infobox Gideon}}
[[Gideon, Battle Forged]] is a white human Planeswalker, introduced in December 2015 along with the public game launch. Being an [[Origins]] planeswalker, he is always available in the vault, and is cheaper than similar planeswalkers from other sets.
He has lower than average health, low mana gains with a balanced spread, and high deck limits, focusing on Creatures. Like all Origins [[Planeswalkers]] he has unusually low mana gains; his mana bonus total of +5 is four points lower than most single-colored PWs.
The theme of his abilities is to {{Ability|buff}} his own creatures, including both power and toughness boosts as well as granting [[Abilities]] such as {{Ability|Vigilance}} or {{Ability|Berserker}}.
Gideon, Battle Forged, sometimes called G1, is the first of four a number of playable [[Planeswalkers]] in MtGPQ which embody Gideon Jura at different points in his life.
==Stats==
| Effect 4 = Gives +6/+6, {{Ability|Berserker}}, {{Ability|Defender}}, and {{Ability|Regenerate}} 5 to target creature.

==Story==
<blockquote>''Fiercely loyal, unyielding, just, and charismatic, Gideon Jura (known as “Kytheon Iora" on his home plane of Theros) doesn’t hesitate to enter combat to defend the innocent. A powerful warrior-mage with the ability to make himself invulnerable, he wields a four-bladed surral and hieromancy magic against his foes. A man of the people, he takes pride in leading his comrades towards the common good.<br><br>Though he is now one of the foremost warriors in the Multiverse, Gideon came from humble beginnings, leading a gang of street kids struggling to make a living. Imprisoned by the local guards, he honed his leadership, self-discipline, weapon use, and hieromancy under the watchful eye of the prison warden Hixus. His newfound strength was put to the test while defending his city. But when he tried to overstep his abilities, he unintentionally doomed the rest of his soldiers. The impact of his failure to protect his own comrades ignited his Planeswalker spark, and he found himself on a new plane, able to begin atoning for his past by dedicating himself to protecting the denizens of the Multiverse from planar threats. His quest has lead to the planes of Alara, [[Guilds of Ravnica|Ravnica]], and [[Battle for Zendikar|Zendikar]], where he’s encountered powerful Planeswalker allies including the telepath [[Jace, Telepath Unbound|Jace]] and the pyromancer [[Chandra, Roaring Flame|Chandra]], as well as strange, otherworldly foes...''</blockquote>
