[[Ashiok, Wicked Manipulator]] is a Black Nightmare Planeswalker, introduced in 2024 along with the [[Wilds of Eldraine]] card set.
Other than the Exile and fetching cards, which abilities power up the third, their loyalty abilities are more generic than their predecessors; Wicked Manipulator's second summons tokens, albeit highly dangerous {{Ability|Berserker}} tokens with {{Ability|Deathtouch}}. 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.
 
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, Nightmare Muse is the first of a small number of playable Planeswalkers in MtGPQ which embody Ashiok at different points in their life.
Ability 3 - You’ll Never Sleep Again
:Exile the top 5 10 cards from your library. Those cards gain the Nightmare Emblem. Opposing creatures get -X/-X until the beginning of your next turn. Your opponent loses X life. You gain X life. X is the number of cards with the Nightmare Emblem in your exile.
