Is Gideon playable in Legacy?

I have 4x Wrath and 4x Day of Judgement and would like to play him and some man lands (possibly green for Treetop Village)

Any suggestions, links, thoughts?

There are much better alternatives to Gideon in legacy, namely, man-lands like Mutavault and Factory.

4x Wrath and DOJ is a bit of overkill really.

I'd say you could make him work in a casual Legacy list, but I probably would never take it into a tournament.

The premier white planeswalker in legacy is the original elspeth. She is a house in control, and aggro decks.

Nope
2 Wrath 1 DoJ is really the most you can play.
Feel free to add 2 Humility and 1 Moat tho.

My 4 CMC curve in Landstill looks like that:

2 Wrath
1 DoJ
2 Humility
1 Gifts Ungiven (This is awesome, really)
2 Elspeth

Gideon works like a man land in the way that both can't be killed by a wrath or DOJ. I'd only play 1 or 2 max in a legacy deck since against man land decks its useless aside from being able to get 6/6 that can't be killed at least by creatures.

Im fairly sure many have tested it but the lack good results proves its not worth it. Elspeths are a lot better and probably even cheaper $ wise

Yes my legacy defender/deck thats gonna stall out some games can use gideon or baneslayer angel for that matter. The deck is designed to create a wall of defenders and win with a frost titan or sun titan or some other fat creature

So would quicken into a vindicate. We'll have to figure out how to play around that one.

Diabolic Edict on an empty field seems more likely.

Actually, if someone actually played that, i would anticipate shenanigans and blow it to hell with Misstep. Well, i mean if i had Misstep and nothing to counter the actual spell of course.
