+1: Put a loyalty counter on Gideon for each creature target opponent controls.

0: Until end of turn, Gideon becomes a Human Soldier creature with power and toughness each equal to the number of loyalty counters on him and gains indestructible. He's still a planeswalker. Prevent all damage that would be dealt to him this turn.

−15: Exile all other permanents.

Watch Out

Layer ordering affects the final resultWatch Out

This card involves continuous effects applied in layer order. Type changes (layer 4) are applied before ability changes (layer 6) and P/T changes (layer 7). The order matters — a creature that loses abilities in layer 6 can still get new abilities from effects applied later in the same layer.

Static ability — always active, can't be responded toRules Note

This card has a static ability that applies continuously as long as it's on the battlefield. There's no trigger or activation — the effect just exists. Removing the permanent is the only way to stop it.
