In the last four weeks, Ashiok, Dream Render appeared in 5.49% of Modern sideboards. This card was played in 119 decks with an average of 1.43 copies, totaling 170 copies across the format. Ashiok ranked 47th among sideboard cards by presence during this period.
The planeswalker's graveyard hate and search prevention effects remain a niche sideboard option in Modern, seeing significantly less play than other graveyard hate options like Surgical Extraction (34.41%), Nihil Spellbomb (13.61%), and Tormod's Crypt (12.87%). Ashiok's moderate adoption suggests it fills a specific role in certain matchups where its dual functionality of shutting down tutoring effects and milling/exiling graveyards provides unique value.
