One of the great early Legends, although Armageddon's presence made him very vulnerable...
Although MasterofEtherium spouts gibberish most of the time, I don't see the black in Dakkon...

Think MasterofEtherium is asking why does he have (or have to have) black in his casting cost...

My interpretation is that he gotta be black on the grounds that he dances too good to be white.

I suspect there was some backstage shuffling going on when Legends was made, with cards (the gold legends, anyway) shifted from color to color, for various reasons, one being a need to have equal amounts of legends in each color pair and each tri-color. Dakkon probably ended up where he did because his ability was hard for anyone at the time to push as fitting any color or color combo more than any other, so he got pushed around more than other legends. I'd like to learn the story of his design to find out for sure.

I remember one of my good buddies as a kid having this. I would play with him and his brother all the time. Those were the good ol' days. Now I never have anyone to play with! I just make decks all day haha. This card is awesome though. I would love to get one of these just for the old memory nostalgia of it.

Not When, If. Future sight had false futures as well. That being said, I hope they reprint Korlash as well.
I'm currently trying to build an EDH around Dakkon right now.

The flavour text sounds like he should be red because his strength is that of the mountains, not the swamps.

"why is he in the land destructrion color and the "blow up ever land" color?"
He's from Legends, which means to say 'for no particular reason'.

I remember this from some turbo-Stasis decks as an alternative win in sideboard. TS-decks had lots of lands to support Recall and were BUW for tutoring & Kismet.

6/6 for 6? hey...that's like, almost today's standards. Mind you, for 3 colors I'd have liked to get Lifelink, but this is actually nice. One of these days I'm going to go through all 55 Legends and make 'updated' proxies of them- keeping most of the stats the same, (power/toughness/mana cost), but making their text boxes reasonably more impressive.
The 3-colored ones get to be Mythics, the others stay Rare. Sound like a good idea?

the art on this card, and for a lot of this set, is just incredible.

Anyway, his heir is a million times himself.
