Run with Ethereal Champion and the otherwise useless Personal Incarnation.

@Kamishini:
Nice combo, but it probably wouldn't work exactly as you planned. Since Emrakul would deal 15 non-prevented damage to Gideon, you'd have to remove 15 Loyalty Counters from him. Unless you spent forever ticking up those counters, that'd bring him to 0. Even though he's indestructible, he's still a Planeswalker, so he'd instantly die after the fight.
Of course, if we assume such a combo involving eight or so cards and twenty-eight mana in three colours, what says that Gideon, browalker of broness, can't have 16 counters.

Awesome flavor text.

This card is great, and the flavor is perfect, but the story is wrong. Fun fact: Gideon had no victory over the Eldrazi. In fact, ALL of them are currently still there, destroying the plane. Gideon then fled to Ravnica to find other planeswalkers to help defeat the Eldrazi, but was caught in the crossfire of the guilds. I don't know what this near death experience is. Maybe fleeing in time?

One thing I really like about Near-Death Experience is the fact that it gives the normally crappy Ethereal Champion a niche in the game which no other card can fill. As far as I know, no card other than Ethereal Champion can automatically set your life total to one in monowhite. Maybe some artifact can do that, but I'm not sure.
