Gideon Jura question

Asked by Forkbeard 9 years ago

Using the 0 cost ability for Gideon Jura , can he attack the turn he enters play or do normal summoning sickness rules apply?

Apologies if this has already been asked a million times.

Normal summoning sickness rules apply.

Unless you've continuously controlled gideon since the beginning of your turn, if he's a creature, you can't attack with him or use abilities that use the tap symbol

Always check the Gatherer rulings before asking a question.

6/15/2010: If Gideon Jura becomes a creature, he may be affected by "summoning sickness." You can't attack with him or use any of his T abilities (if he gains any) unless he began your most recent turn on the battlefield under your control. Note that summoning sickness cares about when Gideon Jura came under your control, not when he became a creature.
