Oracle Text
Daxos can't be blocked by creatures with power 3 or greater. Whenever Daxos deals combat damage to a player, exile the top card of that player's library. You gain life equal to that card's mana value. Until end of turn, you may cast that card and you may spend mana as though it were mana of any color to cast that spell.

If the exiled card is a land card, you won't gain any life and you won't be able to play the land.

If Daxos is blocked by a creature, raising that creature's power to 3 or greater won't change or undo the block.

Daxos doesn't change when you can cast the exiled card. For example, if you exile a creature card without flash, you can cast it only during your main phase when the stack is empty.
