The idea that planeswalkers are like players, and the corollary marketing tagline, "You are a planeswalker" are probably pretty effective for getting people excited about playing Magic and getting the rarer cards. (It works on me, anyway.)
In general, though, they've been a nightmare for us on the Q&A forum. There is no rules connection between a player and a planeswalker.

Except a rule that allows redirecting damage from player to planeswalker.

marked damage greater than its toughness (assuming it's a creature  )
Gideon always makes sure to either prevent all damage, become indestructible, or both when he turns into a creature, so you'll have to do a bit of maneuvering to get this to work.

Gideon is not only planeswalker that can be a creature. Every planeswalker can be a creature.
Offtopic: Assume you are a planeswalker. You turn into a creature. How do you feel?

Gideon is the only planeswalker that can become a creature without needing another card to do so. That would be the "maneuvering" I was talking about.

I thought "maneuvering" was about getting around Gideon's damage prevention or indestructibility.
