His second ability can fetch cards from the graveyard, and debuffing give mana to creatures and Auras. His final ability gains {{Ability|Experience}}, weakens opposing creatures, both powers and gains life; the debuff value scaling with {{Ability|Experience}}. His abilities also have  Unlike [[Ashiok, Nightmare Muse]]' token creature, Daxos' Eidolon benefits from {{Ability|Cast|Casting}} an Aura theme, including fetching Aura cards not {{Ability|Summon|Summoning}} one, so successive summonings of the Eidolon only add the 1 Experience from using the loyalty ability, and it does not gain power and giving them manatoughness on its own.

<blockquote>''Daxos of Meletis was killed by a Planeswalker he loved, but he was freed from the Underworld in a cruel bargain with the god of the dead. Now he is one of the Returned, traveling across the plane of Theros in an endless search for his beloved [[Elspeth, Sun's Nemesis|Elspeth Tirel]]—but she has taken his place in the realm of the dead. His blank, featureless face is hidden behind a golden mask twisted into a grotesque caricature of his grief.''</blockquote>
