if i cast a gideon jura and use his + ability to make the opponent attack my planeswalker, does the damage dealt to the planeswalker count? also, if i play a lava axe and instead of smashing the player's face i hit his planeswalker does that count as damaging a player for this card?

Very neat card with a great art. As someone said, combos well with Sigil of the Empty Throne. In fact I made a whole deck around those two cards.
Definitely a killer in a multiplayer game, where your opponents' end turns happen much more often.

Beastmaster Ascension. 1W for a 9/9 flyer at instant? Yummy.

@creedfox
You're still taking damage but instead of losing life as a result, Gideon loses loyalty counters. It's still damage to you as a player but that's not what this card cares for. Similar situation when connecting with a creature equipped with a sword of feast and famine. You can make the planeswalker lose loyalty but it's controller discards a card, since s/he was damaged. The sword, unlike Luminarch ascension, cares not for loss of life but for damage instead.
Could someone please confirm this, since my friends don't believe hitting a planeswalker with your general in edh counts a general damage.

This is hands down one of the best cards I have ever had the privelage to play in a deck. If this thing lands on the table and isn't answered promptly, it is GAME. It has gotten me out of so many jams it is ridiculous.
I used to sideboard it in my white knights deck, now it is one of the best pieces in there.
5/5

The way we used to play Archenemy, this would activate really fast, but not anymore.
Still good card in the right deck. Like a lot of really good rares, it can't just be thrown into a deck it has to fit the synergy of the entire thing (though it isn't specifically a build around card).

my friend has 2 of these as a win con for his legacy staxx deck. it is evil
nothing is more fun then getting tapped by a tanglewire, or locked by trinisphere while he sets up a crucible of worlds/smokestack lock. then he plays this and i scoop :

Great card - I have a deck that revolves around tutoring for this, getting it out and then massing fog effects until I overwhelm with angels. :D
