Eldrazi spawn. Then sac him for 1 colorless.
I think Blight Mamba gets the award for best copy in the set in a limited setting.
Clone Shell is also pretty hilarious. Paying 2 more blue mana for +5/+5.

What happens if I activate Gideon Jura's ability to turn into a creature and then play the Gargantuan targeting Gideon? Is my Gargantuan just a 7/7 that has all damage prevented to it, or is it a planeswalker?

At the prerelease, I was staring down a Liege of the Tangle and could cast this guy. Too bad he'd only be 7/7. Granted, most of the time he was bigger than what he copied, but still ... that was annoying.

I LOVE the fact that the ability doesn't have "target" in its text, which means shroud is no shield against him >:) (take THAT Uril!), I believe that's one of the other reasons it's mythic as opposed to just rare.

I think it'd work best in an infect deck, copying a Plague Stinger would be awesome. 7/7 infect creature with evasion, yes please!

in 
rockslide elemental because who doesn't want a 7/7 first strike that gets bigger whenever it kills something?

I feel like this card would rule in a ramp/clone deck. You just clone all of the other guy's creatures but make them bigger. I may have to scoop up a playlist of these for fun.

It's a fun casual / EDH card. It's amusing when you can use this to copy something like Akroma, Angel of Wrath or Sphinx of the Steel Wind, where you get a slightly larger version of the Sphinx for a slightly reduced price. But the real purpose is to add abilities to a body that's larger than what was intended for them. Spikeshot Elder would be a great target to copy.
@ Bowshewicz: you are correct on each ruling.

It beats Titans! It kills legends! It turns into a planeswalker (with help from Gideon)!
What does happen if it copies gideon though? If Gideon technically retains his planeswalker abilities (and loyalty) as a creature then it would follow that 'ol Quicksilver can copy Gideon to enter as a 7/7 creature with a suite of walker abilities (the wording on Gideon would keep the damage prevention clause from working though).
The only rules issue I see is whether Quicksilver would become a permanent planeswalker capable of using walker abilities.
Any help?
Edit- Oh yeah, and what about the multiple planeswalkers with the same name rule? Would it apply to this guy?
They should just make Quicksilver Gargantuan card of the day or something and explain it all to us.
