[[Dakkon, Shadow Slayer]] is a white, blue and black formerly human Planeswalker, introduced after June 2022, following the release of the [[Streets of New Capenna]] set.
At release he had the sixth highest health in the game. He has good mana gains in his colors, and average deck limits with a focus on Spells: five Creatures, six Supports, and eight Spells.
Although emergent strategies are possible, Dakkon seems designed to gain large amounts of Loyalty with Blue gems (especially with conversion) and his first ability, ameliorating the high cost of the second and third and hopefully enabling them to be used more often.
Note that the effects of the [[#Forging the Blackblade|Forging the Blackblade]] token will not take place if there are no creatures for it to buff. Creatures [[:Category:Weaken|Weakened]] until their Toughness is reduced to zero by Forging the Blackblade do not die until after combat damage is dealt.
