{{Infobox PW|{{PAGENAME}}}}

[[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.

~~==Overview==[[Dakkon~~It is worth noting that the first 2 levels of One's Vengeance Path bypass both {{Ability|Hexproof}} and {{Ability|Ward}}, ~~Shadow Slayer]]~~ but it is unlikely that a ~~white~~player would leave Dakkon unleveled to utilize this aspect. Level 4 of the ability, while losing the aforementioned bypasses, ~~blue and black formerly human Planeswalker~~becomes much more versatile in that it can now target friendly creatures. While maintaining most of it's offensive use, ~~introduced after June 2022~~this now additionally allows for: -Friendly removal to prolong a match, ~~following the release~~ allowing time to achieve objectives -Friendly removal of permanently disabled creatures -Friendly removal to utilize the ~~[[Streets of New Capenna]] set.~~significant conversion it creates

~~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.~~-Friendly removal to meet exile creature objectives

~~Although emergent strategies~~ Note that the effects of the [[#Forging the Blackblade|Forging the Blackblade]] token will not take place if there are ~~possible, Dakkon seems designed~~ no creatures for it to buff. Creatures [[:Category:Weaken|Weakened]] until their Toughness is reduced to ~~gain large amounts of Loyalty with Blue gems (especially with conversion) and his first ability, enabling~~ zero by Forging the ~~second and third to be used often~~Blackblade do not die until after combat damage is dealt.
