Gideon's Triumph makes a player sacrifice all their creatures or all their planeswalkers — your choice — at instant speed for one white mana, as long as you control a planeswalker. The condition is narrow enough to keep it out of most lists, but in any deck that reliably has a planeswalker on board, it's a one-mana wrath half that opponents can't see coming.

In Commander, Gideon's Triumph is a fringe include — the planeswalker requirement is real friction in a format where you don't always have one in play, but superfriends or planeswalker-heavy builds get a conditional one-mana blowout that costs almost nothing to include. In Pioneer and Modern it sees zero competitive play; white has better targeted removal and the planeswalker condition is too unreliable in those faster, non-planeswalker-centric shells. Legacy and Vintage have access to stronger options and don't want conditional removal at any price. The honest verdict is that Gideon's Triumph belongs in Commander superfriends lists and almost nowhere else.
