Ashiok, Wicked Manipulator is currently worth less than a dollar, which makes the card a great focal point for my budget deck: The Dark Forest!

Packed with ways to exile cards (both ours and our opponent's), remove threats, proliferate our planeswalker loyalty, and even gain some life to stave off the burn decks, we've got a very capable pile for a very low price!

All of which makes me ask The Question: Can we save Ashiok from the bulk bin? Grab your green cup and let's find out!
