{{Infobox PW|{{PAGENAME}}}}
[[Daxos the Returned]] is a white and black Theran demigod Planeswalker, introduced in March 2020 as one of the featured Planeswalkers in the [[Daxos vs Kalemne]] [[Duel Decks]] card setand [[Duel Decks: Daxos vs Kalemne|Event]].
He has higher than average health, average mana gains with a slightly unbalanced spread, and average deck limits.
His abilities have an Aura and {{Ability|Experience}} themethemes. His first Loyalty ability is cheap tied for second cheapest in the game and becomes increasingly powerful as it is used; it both {{Ability|Fetch|fetches}} an Aura or Enchantment card and summons a {{Ability|Token}} creature that benefits from Auras, Enchantments and Loyalty abilities. His second ability can fetch cards from the graveyard, and give mana to creatures and Auras. His final ability gains {{Ability|Experience}}, weakens opposing creatures and gains life; the debuff value scaling with {{Ability|Experience}}.
Unlike [[Ashiok, Nightmare Muse]]' token creature, Daxos' Eidolon benefits from {{Ability|Cast|Casting}} an Aura, 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 toughness on its own. Nevertheless, it can add reinforcements much more , and quickly, multiplying its power rather than as well as adding to itwith Auras and Enchantments. Like [[Calix, Destiny's Hand]], he can create a locked board state where the opponent cannot damage him with creatures, by continually Fetching new copies of {{Card URL|Hixus, Prison Warden}} and similar cards that are normally only temporary because they have so few Shields.

==Story==
<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>
