Ashiok has average health and average deck limits. She has very good mana gains in her colors, and a single deep minus to White.

Ashiok's abilities revolve around their opponent's Exile zone, including fetching cards from there with mana, exiling cards from the opponent's library or hand, and creating a TokenToken creature which becomes stronger as more cards are exiled. Ashiok also has card draw and bounce (return creature to hand) abilities.

Ashiok, Nightmare Muse is the first of a small number of playable Planeswalkers in MtGPQ which embody Ashiok at different points in their life.
