@ruggnarok:

He is both completely Planeswalker and completely Creature at the same time, and would be vulnerable to effects that check for either type. Dreadbore still won't kill him, though Geth's Verdict would. (Assuming he's the only creature on your opponent's board.)

The problem with Gideon, and the reason why he's barely used, is due to how most decks are either aggresive or control decks. In decks that run little to no creatures, he's basically worthless, essentially being a 4/4 indestrucitable for four that will eventually be the target of a Oblivion Ring. And, if you're opponents running aggro (such as RDW or WW), then chances are you could be dead before you even have the chance to pop his final.

I love the design of Gideon but he's not right for this Standard. There's some neat tricks that can be used in casual or EDH but it's just hard to use him to his maximum potential.

My favorite way to use him is to float a crap-load of mana to my mana pool then board wipe.
It's gonna be a long time before they block that Worldspine Wurm...

If I enchant him with Gift of Orzhova and attack, what happens at the end of the turn when he's no longer a creature?

You can enchant a Planeswalker while it's a creature but the enchantment will fall off and go to the graveyard when it's no longer a creature.

TowerDefender: If you somehow flash in a Clone while your opponent controls an animated Gideon, Champion of Justice, and have it copy him, you end up with a noncreature Gideon with four loyalty counters, exactly as if you'd just cast him. The sequence of events goes as follows: Clone's ability applies as part of it entering the battlefield - it's a static ability generating a replacement effect, not a triggered ability ("as", not "when"), as Clone would die to state-based actions before such a trigger could resolve - and copies all copyable characteristics of the other creature (in this case Gideon). The copyable characteristics of something are those printed on the card (if it's copying a card that is not itself copying something), those given to a token by the effect that created it (if it's a token that's not copying something - eg. "3/3 white and green Centaur named Centaur" for Call of the Conclave), or those given to it by a copy effect, ... (see all)
