Kytheon, Hero of Akros // Gideon, Battle-Forged

Kytheon is a unique mono-white powerhouse that flips into a planeswalker, giving you a creature *and* a Gideon in one card. Your core gameplan is to play this cheap threat early, protect it, and flip it into Gideon by turn 3–4. Once transformed, you get a repeatable source of 1/1 tokens, a board wipe effect, and the option to go indestructible with an ultimate. The deck wants to be tempo-focused: leverage Kytheon's low mana cost to apply early pressure, then pivot into a mid-game grind where Gideon's loyalty abilities take over.

Since you're running a one-mana legend, fill the rest of your deck with efficient white creatures, removal, and anthems that turn your token army into a threat. Cards like Honor of the Pure, Intrepid Adversary, and other lords amplify your go-wide plan. Your win comes primarily through combat damage—either from Kytheon itself as a 2/1 that flips into tokens, or from the steady stream of 1/1s that Gideon produces. Don't sleep on Gideon's +1 making your creatures indestructible for a turn; it's great for attacking through blockers or surviving a board wipe.
