I like to imagine Kytheon as one of those pushover sitcom characters: *Bant Knight:* I am Sir Gwain, The One Eared, what pray tell is your name? *Kytheon:* Kytheon, noble knight. *Bant Knight:* Gideon eh, a strong name. *Kytheon:* Er, no, I- *Bant Knight:* VILLAGERS, HERE ME! WE HAVE A GUEST WHO HAS TRAVELED FAR, GIDEON OF; where did you say you were from? *Kytheon:* Theros, but- *Bant Knight:* FAROS! TELL ALL OF HIS COMING!
Nonsense, it would be redundant. The Professer IS Tibalt, he can scarcely talk to himself. Well, I mean, he could. I suppose there's nothing stopping him from doing a video from both sides of the desk.
Doesn't Gidds' turn into a creature? Couldn't you just copy him as a creature and then have a defender for himself. I smell a doubling season in that deck.
Gideon is the "bro-iest" of the planeswalkers. "I just did a killer sesh pumping the lats brah. Let's grab a bite and go smash some Eldrazi with the other super friends" *pops collar to activate planeswalk*
@@sarahmiller4980 If I remember correctly, it is mostly canon. Liliana calls him beefslab in a short story about the Gatewatch from back after Battle for Zendikar came out.
Nissa was pretty high, Chandra a rebel without identity, Liliana solves everything with bloodshed, and Gideon dont give a crap about anything. Such a nice group...
I love this and the series. I'd also like to be the [probably 300th] person to note that it was a Woman that Kytheon/Gideon first met on Bant. There are always going to be slip ups so it happens, it was just funny that it was a slip up that was mentioned like 3 times in a row.
"What if someone mispronounces Gideon?" I subscribed to this channel for your analysis, Professor, but I'm finding your wit and humor to be quickly catching up to your other virtues.
Just discovered this gem of a channel and instantly subscribed. Love all of the creative videos, and the professor is a fantastic character. Can't wait to see more.
I didn't think I could like anything more than I liked your deck techs and product reviews, but this is quickly becoming my favorite thing you do professor. Keep up the awesome content!
Gideon's struggle was that he kept doing too much. I liked the lore articles that showed him going back and forth between Zendikar and Ravnica, fighting the Eldrazi and helping the Boros without a break between the two. He only rested because Jace made him
Kyth...I mean Gideon is a simple man, with simple motivations. Good is good. Evil is bad. Fighting is fun. Talking is sometimes necessary, but not fun. If someone mispronounces your name, its probably less trouble to just grunt an let it slide. Oh yes, and self sacrifice is admirable and you should strive to be as admirable as possible.
To answer your most important question, professor: If someone can't pronounce Gideon, he just goes by 'Chad'. Because, let's be fair. He totally looks like a chad.
I have to say The story between Gideon and Lilliana in Dominaria is actually pretty fun seeing them having to play off each other personality while she's in a place of vulnerability pretty much since they got there Though now He-Man will get the Sword of Power, so hijinx will most definitely arise
+Tristan Shutter I don't think he was directly comparing them... Rather asking why is Gideon in Zendikar saving the people of that plane and not saving people on some other plane... like for example Mirrodin. What are his PERSONAL motives for being in Zendikar and not saving lifes in some other plane. And his response was:" I just went with it." So basically no real personal motivation to be in Zendikar. Just "Eh... why not.."
these are golden. i cant wait for Jace's episode. Garruk would get a stern talk about his hippocratic life style, assaulting Lilli, beating up some of the other "students", and even threatening Jace.
Have to say, thought these were a sort of easy way to play off less episodes about decks, cards, sleeves, boxes, etc., but I am enjoying them. They are clever.
i feel like he adopted the name gideon to signify the change in his life brought about by the igniting of his spark and to leave his tragic past behind and start anew. or maybe he just said 'eh' and went with it.. haha
+Ruben Moniz nah, I noticed that as well. Rest assured you are not crazy. Nice to know the Prof is an abomination of all that is holy and RIGHT in the world.... eh? eh? (wink nudge)
I remember reading that Planeswalkers have a sort-of TARDIS-y type deal where everything's translated automatically through the Spark, rather than it being the case that everyone just happens to speak the same language. It was in an old (old) article on the Mothership. It's ultimately unimportant in the grand scheme of things, but I just thought I should put it out there, since it does make a lot of sense and would explain why someone had difficulties replicating the exact sounds.
To be fair though, they do touch on the fact that GIdeon wants to be part of every fight. The Battle for Zendikar storyline has him hopping between Ravnica and Zendikar, because he feels a duty to stand up for the oppressed on both planes, and the need to do it all himself.
I like to imagine Kytheon as one of those pushover sitcom characters:
*Bant Knight:* I am Sir Gwain, The One Eared, what pray tell is your name?
*Kytheon:* Kytheon, noble knight.
*Bant Knight:* Gideon eh, a strong name.
*Kytheon:* Er, no, I-
*Bant Knight:* VILLAGERS, HERE ME! WE HAVE A GUEST WHO HAS TRAVELED FAR, GIDEON OF; where did you say you were from?
*Kytheon:* Theros, but-
*Bant Knight:* FAROS! TELL ALL OF HIS COMING!
Dear Professor,
Please call Tibalt in for office hours so he can explain himself.
+Edward Stafford that would be priceless
+Mario Lozano YAAAAAS!
+Edward Stafford Does it not bring pain to you how bad his card is?
There you go.
Nonsense, it would be redundant. The Professer IS Tibalt, he can scarcely talk to himself. Well, I mean, he could. I suppose there's nothing stopping him from doing a video from both sides of the desk.
You forget that tibalt is talking and that the proffesor tokens just live in holes
What I learned from watching this:
TL;DR of Gideon - "Eh."
Can u guys do a video together
+TheManaSource canadian Gideon confirmed.
And that Gideon is a copy of He-man
+Paulette Elizondo Dies to Removal. They do
+Laura Saldana Or Eh-Man? ;-)
So who would you like to see visit the office next?
Nicol Bolas would be pretty cool.
Lilianna!! She's been my favorite Planeswalker since I started playing Magic, which was when Gatecrash came out.
Domri
+Tolarian Community College Either Garruk or Liliana.
+Tolarian Community College Jace, the Brooding Teenager.
Only if there where a thousand Gideons to help defend all those planes. Like the standard environment at Game Day.
+Ian Mayberry *rimshot*
+Ian Mayberry I smell a job for the Simic crowd.
That's what happens when one card's the only playable card out of an entire set
an army of Gideons will be unstoppable
Doesn't Gidds' turn into a creature? Couldn't you just copy him as a creature and then have a defender for himself. I smell a doubling season in that deck.
I'd love to see one of these about Urza, with Urza played by your dad.
+Firevine That would be awesome as a quick cameo or voice on the phone even. Urza should be the professor's boss, i think.
Rest in Peace, Kytheon. Your multiversal war is now over.
Gideon is the "bro-iest" of the planeswalkers. "I just did a killer sesh pumping the lats brah. Let's grab a bite and go smash some Eldrazi with the other super friends" *pops collar to activate planeswalk*
A Ham He also forgets to bring shirts to Gatewatch meetings.
Lefting I'm Born the Chad Gideon wrapping a friendly arm around the virgin Jace going “ADVENTURE AND JUSTICE. AWAAAAY”
"Beefslab" is either a canon or at least fanon established nickname for him by now.
@@sarahmiller4980
If I remember correctly, it is mostly canon. Liliana calls him beefslab in a short story about the Gatewatch from back after Battle for Zendikar came out.
I absolutely love his facial expressions. They remind me of the different chat sprites in an adventure game.
3:20 “There’s a plane of existence where the March of Machines spreads like a virus” Imma stop you right there, it’s Machine singular.
Gideon looks the younger version of the professor :)
Mother of god.
+TheAtomicBrothers when I first saw the gideon cosplayer, I thought it was the professor for a minute lol
The lost son of prof!
+Fliperjf Plot twist, that IS the professor. He brought back his past self to interview himself when he was younger.
This was the best one yet. +10 points for the He-Man references.
Nissa was pretty high, Chandra a rebel without identity, Liliana solves everything with bloodshed, and Gideon dont give a crap about anything. Such a nice group...

WHERE ARE YOUR SIDEBURNS, KYTHEON!!?? xD
and Isnt his Syral Gauntlet on his right arm??
+Emilio Cisneros
It is, though probably for the sake of the camera angles, they decided to switch them.
I've had some issues with previous videos in this series but I really liked this one, good job!
Gideon's struggle was that he kept doing too much. I liked the lore articles that showed him going back and forth between Zendikar and Ravnica, fighting the Eldrazi and helping the Boros without a break between the two. He only rested because Jace made him
Scopesightzx forever headcannon that both have a habit of overworking
I absolutely love the office hours series. keep up the good work professor!
This is awesome i hope that you do more of this, and thank you for making MTG even more enjoyable!
I think Gideon took on his new name because he could leave behind what he did as Kytheon and start fresh.
Probably, but it's much funnier to consider that he changes his name every time someone mispronounces it.
I love each and every one of these. The way you highlight the weakness of this writing is hilarious.
its 545 am, 15 min before work starts and that made my day. down hill from here. amazing. thank you so much. love your work.
Can Wizards just hire you to run their Lore and Story department? Or at least consult on character development?
I miss Venser.
hahaha that intro of he-man
professor, you are an absolute genius
i just want to point out im using this as my entry in to magic lore, AND IM LEARNING SO MUCH!
Kyth...I mean Gideon is a simple man, with simple motivations. Good is good. Evil is bad. Fighting is fun. Talking is sometimes necessary, but not fun. If someone mispronounces your name, its probably less trouble to just grunt an let it slide.

Great Video Professor!
I need to finnish my studies to get a job to suport you on Patreon so you can keep on doing such awsome work!!!
I have to say
The story between Gideon and Lilliana in Dominaria is actually pretty fun seeing them having to play off each other personality while she's in a place of vulnerability pretty much since they got there
Though now He-Man will get the Sword of Power, so hijinx will most definitely arise
I'm liking The Professor's videos more than actual Mt:G at this point.
Another great video! Love the office hours and hope to see many more.
Pretty sure the Kytheon-Gideon was "it makes me look like I belong here"
I really do like all the costume work! It looks amazing to see the planeswalkers brought to life :)
These are freaking hilarious, can't wait for the next!
Absolutely LOVE this series!
That He-Man reference... Jace, my fearless friend hahahahaha
Haha! So good professor! You should keep this segment up in a weekly basis at least. Good job!
Beautiful. :) Keep them coming! Liliana, Sorin, Elspeth.... Bolas! I want to see them all!
great video! also, nice to find someone else compare the eldrazi to the phyrexians.
+Tristan Shutter I don't think he was directly comparing them... Rather asking why is Gideon in Zendikar saving the people of that plane and not saving people on some other plane... like for example Mirrodin.

+peponcio herrera ^This^
+peponcio herrera Mirrodin? What's that, I only know of New Phyrexia ;D
thank you professor for addressing your students and asking them to become deeper characters.
Man, we could really use Gideon against Phyrexia
This one is by far the most funniest Office Hours episode ever
Gideon's Selflessness
1W
Instant
Change the name of a card named by a spell, ability or permanent.
"Eh." - Gideon Jura.
Funniest yet, keep up the good work professor!
these are golden. i cant wait for Jace's episode.
Garruk would get a stern talk about his hippocratic life style, assaulting Lilli, beating up some of the other "students", and even threatening Jace.
Oh poor Gideon...he’s He-man.
I love this planeswalker cosplay series. Good fun. Highly entertaining.
I can't get enough of these
These are so funny. Keep it up professor!
The "Vintage Education" theme makes me happy.
Best series on the channel.
HAHAHAHAH I lol'ed so much at the last "eeh" from Gideon
Have to say, thought these were a sort of easy way to play off less episodes about decks, cards, sleeves, boxes, etc., but I am enjoying them. They are clever.
I love these!!!! I can't wait for one with Jace.
WOO! Eeeee he he he! These are getting better as they come!
i like this Gideon he's a chill frat boy.
The best office hours episode yet
Three words:
Office Hours Tibalt!
God damn it, Gideon. Your name is Kytheon? How many secrets are you hiding to me?
-he’s secretly smashing Jace-
Newbie here. My friend gave me this deck to learn on.
which deck?
@@HappyNoob17YT Gideon martial paragon white red
Beautiful.
4:28, for posterity.
I just lovethis serie of videos
I've seen this before, dream video of this, and im just seeing it for the first time
The professor is left-handed!!?!?!? AWESOME!! I have found another comrade!
i feel like he adopted the name gideon to signify the change in his life brought about by the igniting of his spark and to leave his tragic past behind and start anew. or maybe he just said 'eh' and went with it.. haha
my god, this is hilarious. More please
Anybody here after the events of war of the spark?
Death Gate Cycle in the background! The first fantasy series I ever read.
i love this so much
My headcanon is that because Kytheon's so humble now, he just didn't want to be rude.
This series is my absolute favorite of TCC's programs! Let's talk to Do-Nothing Sorin next
"by the power of grayskull" LOL!!! :D
Love this series!! So dead on! Lol And the guy playing Gideon? *swoon*
+RJ Dennis Yeah, he's real easy on the eyes.
loved this! keep up the good work :D
My sides... my sides hurt too much!!!
YOU MUST DO A LEGENDARY CREATURE CYCLE OF THESE!!!
blue being condescending to white
3:39 literally describes the Amonkhet block but this came out before it yeeeet
I like how he signed a yellow notepad for the conference but then professor picked up white stapled paper.
Oh my god. Cannot unsee. Gideon is He-man. DAMNIT.
These are great. Keep em coming(personally wish the actor was more tan to fit the character however but great costume)
GOOD JOB on videos like this prof! its really funny, hahaha.
I really like this series !
coming back to this four years later, the actor for Gideon looks like a younger version of the Prof
Great video professor! Up early uploading videos, and drinking coffee I see lol
am I the only one who got more interested on the fact the professor is a lefty than gideons character depth?
+Ruben Moniz I am indeed a lefty.
+Tolarian Community College keep this series going!
+Ruben Moniz Because one of those exists and the other doesn't.
+Ruben Moniz nah, I noticed that as well. Rest assured you are not crazy. Nice to know the Prof is an abomination of all that is holy and RIGHT in the world.... eh? eh? (wink nudge)
+Tolarian Community College And a Blue player *gasps* makes sense now! D: !
2:40. The prof explained the plot line of kelidesh and amenkhet
aaah english, the multiversal language.
Gideon cosplayer, you are so good
I even miss him a little bit now
Another awesome video,though so far Chandra is my favorite :D

this serie is awesome! :D
Questo è il migliore
0:26 Now that's an absolute long story
To be fair, Gideon showed himself to be pretty clever in his interaction with Noyan Dar.
