Dauthi Voidwalker is a Creature — Dauthi Rogue (mana cost {B}{B}; Creature — Dauthi Rogue; 3/2; rarity: rare; most recent printing listed by Scryfall: Tarkir: Dragonstorm Commander). Scryfall lists its Commander legality as legal, Modern legality as legal, and Legacy legality as legal. Here is what the card actually does and how to judge whether your deck wants it.
The card, on its actual text
Shadow (This creature can block or be blocked by only creatures with shadow.)
If a card would be put into an opponent's graveyard from anywhere, instead exile it with a void counter on it.
{T}, Sacrifice this creature: Choose an exiled card an opponent owns with a void counter on it. You may play it this turn without paying its mana cost.
That text is the whole evaluation. Cards earn slots by what their text does in the games you actually play — the turns where mana is tight, the board is contested, and a card drawn late has to matter immediately. Judge this one against the role it would fill in your list, not against a highlight reel.

Which decks want it
Ask what the deck looks like when it is merely fine. A resilient build still develops its board, still draws extra cards, and still threatens something through an average opening hand. The spectacular draws will take care of themselves; your card choices should be spent making the average draw functional, because you will see far more average draws than perfect ones.

The honest verdict
Mind the curve before you mind the highlights. Count how many plays the deck has on each of the first four turns, and be honest about hands that do nothing until turn five. One cheaper role-player often improves a deck more than one expensive splash, because games are decided by who starts playing first as often as by who plays biggest.
