Overview

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.

Forging the Blackblade

White, Blue, Black Support Card; 4 Shields, Token. "At the beginning of the combat on your turn: Your first creature gets +1/+1 for each White, Blue and Black gem on the board until the end of turn. Then: If this support has the Darkness Emblem - Opposing creatures get -X/-X until end of turn. X is the greatest number among White, Blue or Black gems on the board."

No part of the beginning-of-combat effects of the Forging the Blackblade token will take place if there are no creatures for it to buff. The effects of Forged by Greed itself are unaffected by this.

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.
