Dakkon Blackblade - One of my favorite magic cards ever printed. Pulled him in my first magic booster I ever bought. For modern play he shows his age, but that won't keep his might blade from victory.

Win Conditions:

Dakkon Blackblade - Althogh he is slow compared to other agro generals, he has the ability to deal 21 general damage fairly easily.

Dakkon Blackblade + Grafted Exoskeleton - And now to the theme of the deck. The idea is to stack 10 poison counters with the Blackblade of Dakkon.

Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon - And his band of infected warriors. With a full court press of infect creatures, most having evasion, landing poison counter should be easy.

Thassa, God of the Sea/Venser, the Sojourner/Ajani, Caller of the Pride/Archetype of Imagination - Evasion for the followers of Blackblade

Contagion Engine - The deck also contains multiple reusable proliferate cards ensuring the curse of the Blackblade spreads throughout his foes.

Luminarch Ascension/Rite of Replication - Possible single card win threats

Master of Tempo:

Winter Orb/ Static Orb/ StasisWill slow his opponents to a crawl.

These can also be manipulated with lands that take advantage of his paralyzed enemies. Forsaken City/ Bottomless Vault/ Icatian Store/ Sand Silos.

Dakkon's chronomancy buys his allies time to unleash their true power. Ajani, Caller of the Pride/ Jace, the Mind Sculptor/ Sorin, Lord of Innistrad/ Tamiyo, the Moon Sage/ Venser, the Sojourner

Kyuden Blackblade:

Collective Restraint/ Ghostly Prison/ Propaganda/ Norn's Annex - With the world placed in Stasis his opponents victories will be Pyrrhic.

Devastation In His Wake

Cyclonic Rift - Massive board removal leaving openings for victory.

Wrath of God - Witness his wrath and pray for a swift death.

Terminus - They were never seen again.

Nevinyrral's Disk/ Scourglass + Academy Ruins - Will continue needed mass removal.

Knowledge is Power

Ancestral Vision/ Phyrexian Arena/ Mind Unbound/ Rhystic Study/ Sensei's Divining Top/ Jace, the Mind Sculptor/ Tezzeret's Gambit - All good draw engine.

Demonic Tutor/ Beseech the Queen/ Demonic Collusion - Dakkon's forbidden knowledge.

Gift of Estates/ Land Tax/ Tithe/ Armillary Sphere/ Solemn Simulacrum - My power is as vast as the plains...
