Manipulator's third represents Webcore's new premise for the mechanics of Loyalty abilities. Because the third relies on the first two to be powered up, goes the reasoning, the third can be at full power even at low levels; only the first two need to be less potent. Consequently, a level 16 Ashiok's A3 is the same as a level 60's.

Ashiok, Wicked Manipulator is a Black Nightmare Planeswalker, introduced in 2024 along with the Wilds of Eldraine card set.

A mono black PW, Ashiok nevertheless retains the bonuses to Blue of the first and second of her name, and two of their loyalty abilities are related to the Exile zone, as were Ashiok, Nightmare Muse's abilities.

Ashiok, Wicked Manipulator's third resembles the third of Kaya, Orzhov Usurper, making the opponent lose X life and weakening their creatures by X, where X is the number of cards they have added to the Exile with their first and third.
