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 It is worth noting that the effects first 2 levels of One's Vengeance Path bypass both {{Ability|Hexproof}} and {{Ability|Ward}}, but it is unlikely that a player would leave Dakkon unleveled to utilize this aspect. Level 4 of the [[#Forging ability, while losing the Blackblade|Forging the Blackblade]] token will not take place if there are no aforementioned bypasses, becomes much more versatile in that it can now target friendly creatures . While maintaining most of its offensive use, this now additionally allows for it to buff.:
Creatures [[:Category:Weaken|Weakened]] until their Toughness is reduced -Friendly removal to zero by Forging the Blackbladeprolong a match, do not die until after combat damage is dealt.allowing time to achieve objectives
Untargeted abilities like -Friendly removal of permanently disabled creatures -Friendly removal to utilize the significant conversion it creates -Friendly removal to meet exile creature objectives Note that the effects of the [[#Forging the Blackblade can affect creatures with {{Ability|Hexproof}}, and save Forging the price of targeting ones with {{Ability|Ward}}; in this respect, and balanced against the utility of targeting preferred non-Hexproof Blackblade]] token will not take place if there are no creatures, the first two levels of One's Vengeance Path are superior for it to the latter twobuff. The 4th level is also valuable for the Sacrifice Creatures [[objectives:Category:Weaken|objectiveWeakened]], and friendly creatures whose until their Toughness is reduced to zero by Forging the Blackblade do not die until after combat damage threatens the completion of objectivesis dealt.
