Gideon Tribal - EDH
Gideon Tribal looks to pressure the opponent by attacking with multiple indestructible threats each turn. Remember that a flipped [[Kytheon, Hero of Akros]] is still your commander and thus can technically deal commander damage. Each Gideon planeswalker is able to push through damage while holding up mana for combat tricks or instant-speed token production ([[Secure the Wastes]], [[White Sun's Zenith]], etc). Tokens are a sub-theme of this deck, looking to go wide and push through the final points of damage. There are several mana-sinks for token production through [[Castle Ardenvale]], [[Heliod, God of the Sun]], [[Oketra the True]], and [[Adanto, the First Fort]]. This deck struggles against board wipes, so [[Teferi's Protection]], [[Rootborn Defenses]], [[Make a Stand]], and [[Unbreakable Formation]] help with protecting your army. Since this is mono-color, utility lands help with graveyard hate, hexproof/shroud hate, targeted land destruction, etc.
This deck struggles with late-game and card draw. [[Mind's Eye]], [[Mentor of the Meek]], and [[Dawn of Hope]] can help, but are limited. It can have some very explosive starts and pressure the opponents quickly, but be careful when playing it to not overextend into a board wipe or use up all resources.
