A deck that focuses on protecting key creatures or planeswalkers would benefit from including Gideon's Sacrifice, as it provides a powerful defensive option to redirect damage away from important permanents. While Gideon's Sacrifice can be a useful tool in certain situations, there are potentially better options available such as cards like Teferi's Protection or Heroic Intervention that offer more versatile protection.
