I find that this could be a better answer as a control player for the format than just blue-black control. even though it does lose just a little main board removal in comparison, it picks up card advantage from kiora and/or a nice fog against rabblemaster until removal if necessary. Her ultimate is a nice enough additional win-con when combined with perilous vault. Though sylvan is in opposition to perilous vault, the extra mana and possible blocks is worthwhile enough. Garruk is nice removal (though it does have a hefty price tag) and is on its own a sizable win con. The rest is basically ub control with some number tweaking. again the instant and sorcery base is fairly standard. there could still be some tweaks between numbers of win cons (possibly to main board drown in sorrow). Play testing with the deck has produced very positive results both with the previous ashioks and without. the abzan midrange match up is very powerful and ashiok will only become more relevant if more coursers pop up than they did at pro tour. The suicide black list is by far the worst matchup but thanks to the strength of abzan that deck is lower in prevalence. Jeskai is simply dependent on the amount of burn and answers in the deck.
