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, enabling the second and third to be used often.

Note that the effects of the Forging the Blackblade token will not take place if there are no creatures for it to buff.

Untargeted abilities can affect creatures with HexproofHexproof, and save the price of targeting ones with WardWard; in this respect, the first two levels of One's Vengeance Path are superior to the latter two. The 3rd and 4th levels however, become valuable in the event of enemies which permanently disable friendly creatures, the Sacrifice objective, and friendly creatures whose damage threatens the completion of objectives.

Story

Dakkon Blackblade on MtG wiki

The original forger of the Blackblade, Dakkon became a planeswalker, as promised by Geyadrone Dihada, after completing the creation of that powerful weapon. But his creation was used to split apart his soul from body, leaving him to planeswalk bound by the Blackblade.

The combination of white blue and black is called Esper after the Shard of Alara from the MtG multiverse.
