I really like the cards Ashiok and Prognostic Sphinx so I've been working on a deck a long time. Originally I was running a Grixis list but the mana is too painful without lifegain. Ended up cutting red. Link below is the most successful Ashiok deck I have come across. Couldn't find anything updated so had to tune on my own. Credit to Shouta Yasooka:
