Play Nightmare with Ashiok. GENIUS. Actually, not a good idea unless you have a lot of Swamps and simply couldn't be arsed to hardcast it.

I love this card. U/B is my favorite color combo, it comes down super early, it can tank damage really easily, and even make its own chumps if you need to. And the ult. The ult is back breaking. It's an uncounterable, free Identity Crisis. Control just can't deal. Grave yard decks (slow ones, but still) also can't deal. I was playing a 3 player game yesterday, just ticking up Ashiok. Got to 11, then used the ult. This cleared out all of the counter magic I was worried about dealing with, and allowed me to drop Nicol Bolas, planeswalker and just win. Yeah, that's casual, but still, it turned 3 player free for all into archenemy, /and I won./ That's some serious power. And of course, the longer the game goes, the better Ashiok is, because you can grind out their deck, making milling a serious threat, and keep dropping creatures in the process. 5/5 for great design, balance, and flavor.

Really, Ashiok is best described as an... it. Seriously, read about it. It's hard to tell if Ashiok is a living being at all, or instead some primordial force given form.

This card is almost too good. The only real downside is that it dies to Abrupt Decay so easily.....
Stomps control decks, awesome against aggro..... Counters scry......

This card will be used or not for its 2nd ability. The last ability takes to long even though it is game if it resolves. The first ability doesnt do much besides stop scry.

It's nice to see +2 on a walker again, though I wish it could target either library..

It's not a particularly good walker, but it's only 3 mana with a +2 ability. That's pretty hard to kill. Against aggro it takes some time to do anything, but if they attack it then that's "lifegain", and if they ignore it then you just steal a creature and have it block. Against control it doesn't really do anything since they normally don't have creatures to steal, but they absolutely cannot let it ultimate so they eventually have to find an answer.
