I've been tinkering with some ideas for *cough* original *cough* planeswalker gestalt builds
Name:Not Elric Key Stat: Charisma Race: Elf (Shadar-Kai) Classes: Paladin (Oath of Vengence)/Warlock (Hexblade Patron) Background: Noble Notes: Charisma does all the heavy lifting here, attack and damage being CHA based. Use your Warlocks slots to cast smites at highest possible level. Use invocations to improve eldritch blast so your also lethal at range, or improve your pact weapon or hexes (that stack with hunters mark and vow of emity).
Name: Not Ironman Key Stat: Intelligence Race: Warforged Classes: Artificer (Armorer)/Wizard (School of Invention) Background: Guild Artisan Notes: 8 tool proficiencies. Magical force resistant armor that can't be removed from unwillingly. Versatile INT based casting, buff yourself or allies or be a blaster that can change the element of your spells or just blast harder.
Name: "Average" Joe Key Stat: Intelligence Race: Human (Mark of Making) Classes: Fighter (Eldritch Knight)/Rogue (Arcane Trickster) Background: Dimir Operative Notes: Sparking out late (doesn't get spells till 3rd level) spending most his time before as just a "badass normal". Then finds out he has an inherent wealth of spell knowledge (dragon mark and background) but limited overall spell casting. Just a highwayman turned explorer of the multiverse.
Name: Divine Pyro Key Stat: Wisdom Race: Genasi (Fire) Classes: Cleric (Light Domain)/Druid (Circle of Wildfire) Background: Acolyte Notes: A different take on the pyromancer. More a worshiper of some primodial force of elemental fire. "For the night is dark and full of terrors"
Name: Experiment 626 Key Stat: Charisma Race: Simic Hybrid Classes: Sorcerer (Aberrant Mind)/Warlock (Great Old One Patron) Background: Simic Scientist Notes: A Simic experiment with Eldrazi tissue lead to some interesting, horrifying... yet interesting results. Do you share their otherworldly appetite for destruction or can channel their fell power against them?
Name: Sewer Stalker Key Stat: Wisdom Race: Elf (Drow) Classes: Druid (Circle of Spores)/Ranger (Gloom Stalker) Background: Golgari Agent Notes: 150 ft. Darkvision. Stalk your prey in the darkness ninja style or infect them with your fungus powers.
I feel like Gideon shouldn't be an eldritch knight and a cleric but change eldritch knight with a Champion and it would make a lot more sense.
Gideon has divine-like powers, at least some of which are innate like his golden aura of indestructibility, and some he learned over time like his law magic.

You didn't say if he should be a champion or an eldritch knight. I think he should be a champion so he can hit people easier.

I didn't say because neither of those encompasses everything he can do. If anything, he comes across more as a paladin to me.
For one thing, he's a warrior who could channel white mana, which is basically divine magic. And while he didn't have a formal oath, he dedicated himself to protecting others by throwing himself into the thick of things (and even running himself ragged) out of a deep-seated need to atone for leading his friends on Theros to their deaths due to his own hubris.
No it's okay. At first I was going to make Gideon, but my brother wanted to make Sarkahn so yea. The only problem is I use my school gmail account. I suggest changing Kiora from a Sea Sorcerer to a Storm Sorcerer.

Yes he should be a champion for that reason and that he gains life every turn.

..........?
Gideon doesn't gain life every turn. You just can't damage him most of the time. In the few instances someone got past his magical aura, such as with Bolas and Ob Nixilis, he nearly died.
Yea when did Nixilis and Bolas get by his invulnerability aura?
Ob Nixilis nearly drowned him by planting his face in a puddle in the Battle for Zendikar storyline (see at the end of this article here), and Nicol Bolas flat out pierced his aura with one of his claws and gave him a bad puncture wound in the Amonkhet Hour of Devastation storyline (which you can see in the Gideon section of this article here).

Thank you this was a lot of help because I am trying to make a dnd character for each planeswalker.

why more paladin?
For one thing, he's a warrior who could channel white mana, which is basically divine magic.

isnt he more like order domain cleric
I stole my pfp from this person: https://mobile.twitter.com/xelart1/status/1177312449575432193
He's much more martial than a pure cleric.
what does sarkhan say. I can't see it because it says i don't have permission.
Name: Sarkhan
Race: Human
Classes: Fighter (Champion)/Sorcerer (Draconic)
Background: Soldier
Sorry I thought I had it so anyone can view it.

If you want a visual of the Bolas incident:
Oh thanks
