[[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.
==Overview==[[Although emergent strategies are possible, Dakkonseems designed to gain large amounts of Loyalty with Blue gems (especially with conversion) and his first ability, Shadow Slayer]] ameliorating the high cost of the second and third and hopefully enabling them to be used more often. It is a white, blue worth noting that the first 2 levels of One's Vengeance Path bypass both {{Ability|Hexproof}} and black formerly human Planeswalker{{Ability|Ward}}, introduced after June 2022but it is unlikely that a player would leave Dakkon unleveled to utilize this aspect. Level 4 of the ability, following while losing the release aforementioned bypasses, becomes much more versatile in that it can now target friendly creatures. While maintaining most of the [[Streets it's offensive use, this now additionally allows for: -Friendly removal to prolong a match, allowing time to achieve objectives -Friendly removal of New Capenna]] set.permanently disabled creatures

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.
In paper Magic the Gathering, the combination of white blue and black is called [https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Esper Esper] after the Shard of Alara from the MtG multiverse.
